Framber Valdez threw a 93-pitch no-hitter against the Cleveland Guardians on the night his team reunited with Verlander in a trade with the New York Mets prior to the MLB trade deadline. Valdez’s no-hitter also sits as the fourth-lowest amount of pitches a starter has needed to complete one in MLB history. Valdez is also the first left in Astros history to record a no-hitter. At the Astros’ home Minute Maid Field, the crowd went ballistic as Valdez’s teammates rushed to him to celebrate the moment. However, they also won 2-0 to remain half-a-game up on the Astros for possession of the AL West lead.
