It took three pitchers, 150 pitches and 15 strikeouts, but the Houston Astros combined for a no-hitter against the Yankees on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, beating the best team in baseball, 3-0.
Cristian Javier got things started for Houston, dominating the Yankees for seven innings. He struck out 13 batters and his only blemishes were a first inning walk and a batter reaching first base on an error in the seventh. But with Javier at 115 pitches, Manager Dusty Baker pulled his starter in favor of right-hander Héctor Neris.
Neris and Ryan Pressly finished the job, tossing two more no-hit innings while allowing two base runners on walks.
