For just the 11th time in New York Yankees history, a starting pitcher recorded a no-hitter in a regular-season contest. Two-time Cy Young award-winning pitcher, Corey Kluber, went nine innings without giving up a hit and was just one walk away from a perfect game.
Kluber, who missed virtually the entire 2020 season and pitched just 35.2 innings in 2019, has already surpassed that mark with 41.1 innings this season, hosting a 2.86 ERA after blanking Texas in one of the most outstanding performances of the year.
The Yankees needed Kluber and no more for victory:
While the Yankees extracted the win with just two runs on the board, they didn’t need much more to get the job done, as Kluber showed up with elite-level pitching, missing on only a few pitches.
