HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti has a no-hitter through six innings on Friday night against the Texas Rangers.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old Arrighetti has walked three and struck out five. He has thrown 81 pitches, 48 for strikes.<\/p>\n
The Astros led 1-0 on Isaac Paredes\u2019 third-inning homer.<\/p>\n
Astros left fielder Zach Dezenzo kept the no-hit bid alive when he made a diving catch on a line drive by Alejandro Osuna for the second out of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n
First baseman Christian Walker took a tough hop on a ground ball off the bat of Brandon Nimmo to start an inning-ending double play in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Arrighetti entered the game 4-1 with a 1.88 ERA through five starts after beginning the season with Triple-A Sugar Land. The longest start of his career was on Aug. 28, 2024, when he struck out 11 over 7 2\/3 shutout innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on a career-high 103 pitches.<\/p>\n
There have been 17 no-hitters in Astros history, with the last coming from Ronel Blanco on April 1, 2024.<\/p>\n
The Rangers have been no-hit five times since moving to Texas in 1971, most recently by Corey Kluber of the New York Yankees on May 19, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 Houston Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti has a no-hitter through six innings on Friday night against…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":799513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[125448,5229,7599,31807,179228,20168,223492,223490,324435,325832,325834,7202,7203,244742,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,325833],"class_list":{"0":"post-799512","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-alejandro-osuna","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-brandon-nimmo","11":"tag-christian-walker","12":"tag-corey-kluber","13":"tag-isaac-paredes","14":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","15":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","16":"tag-product-40815-ap-texas-sports-only","17":"tag-rangers-astros-arrighetti-no-hit-bid","18":"tag-ronel-blanco","19":"tag-san-antonio","20":"tag-sanantonio","21":"tag-spencer-arrighetti","22":"tag-texas","23":"tag-tx","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-united-states-of-america","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-usa","30":"tag-zach-dezenzo"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116581757577417456","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=799512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/799513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=799512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=799512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=799512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
