The Astros and Twins already played one series this season, with the Twins taking two-of-three between May 31 and June 2. Houston won the middle contest by a 5-2 final score, led by a two-homer game from Yordan Alvarez (10, 11). Jose Abreu (1) and Kyler Tucker (19) also went deep. Framber Valdez (4-3, 3.95) took a no-hitter into the seventh, eventually walking two and striking out four while getting 50-of-85 pitches over the plate.
If you give up the hit, you give up the hit, but you’ve got to go with the mindset of trying to finish the no-hitter.
