The last time the Yankees were no-hit was all the way back in 2003, at the hands of the Astros. Roy Oswalt, Pete Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel and Billy Wagner pieced together nine innings, striking out 13 batters in Pinstripes and walking three.
Almost 20 years later, and the Astros have done it once more at Yankee Stadium. Saturday’s game wasn’t quite the same piecemeal game thanks to a Herculean 13 strikeout effort by Cristian Javier, but he still needed some help after 115 pitches through seven innings, to secure the 3–0, no-hit victory.
