## Resource

Houston Astros stunned the Texas Rangers with a combined no-hitter, 9-0, in a wild ride of pitching brilliance. Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai, despite walking the first four batters, settled in for six hitless innings. Steven Okert and rookie Alimber Santa—just 23—sealed the deal, with Santa becoming the first pitcher since 1900 to join a no-hitter in his MLB debut. Manager Joe Espada called it unexpected but praised Imai’s grit. The Astros now boast 17 regular-season no-hitters, including four combined efforts, and are on fire—throwing three of the last seven in MLB. Imai, a three-time Japanese All-Star, is in his first big league season after a $54M deal. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
