===Philadelphia Phillies (2010–2013)===

On September 21, Halladay became the first Phillies pitcher to win 20 games in a season since [[Steve Carlton]] accomplished it in 1982.

Halladay made his first postseason start in Game 1 of the [[2010 National League Division Series|National League Division Series]], as the Phillies squared off against the [[Cincinnati Reds]]. Halladay threw a [[no-hitter]], giving up only one walk (to [[Jay Bruce]] in the fifth inning) in a 4–0 victory where he threw 104 pitches.

Halladay started Games 1 and 5, which were one of the most touted postseason pitching match-ups in recent history as he faced another former Cy Young winner in both games, [[Tim Lincecum]].

====Postseason no-hitter====
[[File:Roy Halladay and Don Larsen.jpg|thumb|right|Halladay with [[Don Larsen]], the only two pitchers to throw solo postseason no-hitters in MLB history]]
On October 6, 2010, in his first postseason appearance, Halladay pitched a [[no-hitter]] (his second of the season), against the [[Cincinnati Reds]] in the first game of the [[2010 National League Division Series|National League Division Series]] (NLDS).<ref name="nohitter" />

He became the second player to pitch a no-hitter in the postseason, joining [[Don Larsen]] of the [[New York Yankees]], who pitched a [[Don Larsen's perfect game|perfect game]] in the [[1956 World Series]]. He also became the first pitcher since [[Nolan Ryan]] in 1973 to throw two no-hitters in a season, as well as the seventh pitcher to hurl both a perfect game and a regular no-hitter in his career, joining [[Cy Young]], [[Addie Joss]], [[Jim Bunning]], [[Sandy Koufax]], [[Randy Johnson]], and [[Mark Buehrle]]. Halladay allowed just one walk to [[right fielder]] [[Jay Bruce]] with two outs in the fifth inning, and faced just one batter above the minimum.<ref>{{cite news|date=October 6, 2010|title=Roy Halladay throws second no-hitter in postseason history|work=[[ESPN]]|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=301006122|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120715154544/http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=301006122|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 15, 2012|access-date=October 6, 2010}}</ref>
