"I gotta get a new pair for sure, those are my only pair," Lorenzen said after the game.
This wasn't just Lorenzen's big night; 28-year-old rookie Weston Wilson homered in his first major league at-bat after over 700 games in the minors and Nick Castellanos hit his 200th career home run, his second of the game.
The Phillies won 7-0 over the Nationals.
