Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez has a no-hitter through seven innings against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.
Valdez is gunning for his second career no-hitter. He tossed one against the Cleveland Guardians on Aug. 1, 2023.
The only baserunners against Valdez came on an error and a walk. He has five strikeouts and has thrown just 78 pitches.
Valdez retired the first 15 batters he faced before Jonah Heim led off the sixth with a bouncer to Houston third baseman Alex Bregman, who made a poor throw to first that Jon Singleton couldn’t corral.
Heim was quickly erased, as Robbie Grossman followed with a grounder to Bregman, who started a 5-4-3 double play.
Valdez walked Marcus Semien with two outs in the seventh before striking out Josh Jung to keep the Astros ahead 2-0.
Valdez is looking to improve to 6-0 over his past eight starts. He struggled against the Rangers in last season’s American League Championship Series, going 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA.
