For the second time in history, the Astros combined staff no-hit the mighty New York Yankees, this time thanks to seven nearly perfect innings from Cristian Javier, a clutch hold despite bad umpire calls from Hector Neris, and a redemptive perfect inning save from closer Ryan Pressly.
Against the best-hitting team in baseball, facing their hostile crowd for the first time in his career, young Astros starter Cristian Javier mowed down the mighty Bronx Bombers like a Weed Whacker.
Seven scoreless innings, no hits, one walk (extremely questionable) 13 strikeouts.
The Pitching Ninja recorded all 13.
