Summary
The Astros stunned the baseball world with a combined no-hitter against the Rangers, ending a major league drought and setting a blistering start to the season. Pitchers Tatsuya Imai, Steven Okert, and rookie Alimber Santa—making his MLB debut—combined for a flawless nine-inning shutout, walking just five and blanking the Rangers entirely. Imai, a veteran of Japan’s leagues, anchored the game with six hitless innings, while Santa, just 23 and fresh from Triple-A, closed it out in dominant fashion. This marks the first no-hitter since September 2023 and the Astros’ 18th in franchise history, putting them ahead of the Dodgers and guaranteeing more no-hitters this season than last.
