He played for the St.Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies.On May 1, 1906, while with the Phillies, the 20-year-old Lush no-hit the Brooklyn Superbas 6-0 at Brooklyn's Washington Park, besting Mal Eason—himself a no-hit pitcher on July 20 of that season.
Lush struck out 11, walked three, and one runner first base on a Mickey Doolin error.Not until Jim Bunning's perfect game in 1964 would there be another no-hitter by a Phillies pitcher.
