HOUSTON -- Mike Fiers' no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night was the Astros' first no-hitter since 2003 and the club's first complete-game no-hitter since Darryl Kile's in 1993. It was the 11th no-hitter in franchise history and the first at Minute Maid Park.
Of the previous 10 Houston no-hitters, the quirkiest was the most recent one when, on June 11, 2003, a record six Astros combined to no-hit the Yankees in New York in an 8-0 win.
