Astros Pitcher, Framber Valdez Throws No-Hitter!

Framber Valdez is celebrating after throwing the third no-hitter of this MLB season to lead the Astros to a 2-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians at Minute Maid Park.
Valdez faced the minimum 27 batters, recorded seven strikeouts and threw 93 pitches in the win, the fourth-fewest pitches needed in a no-hitter since 1901.
He’s the first lefty in Astros history to throw a no-hitter.
The game marked the 16th no-hitter in Astros history and the first solo no-hitter since Justin Verlander threw one in 2019.
Valdez’s no-hitter came just hours after the Astros reacquired Verlander in a deal with the New York Mets before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
