Astros’ Fiers has no-hitter through 6 innings

Heston, who threw a no-hitter against the New York Mets on June9, has had trouble going deep into games in recent weeks. The most no-hitters thrown in the modern era in one season is seven, last achieved in 2012.

The 7th and 8th were as impressive as you could get. And it doesn’t happen all the time. I had a bunch of pitches. Seattle’s Hisashi Iwakuma tossed a no-hitter on August 12.

“It was like a dream”, Fiers said. He entered the ninth having thrown 120 pitches (he finished at 134), and remained unhittable. “You feel the emotion of everything you’ve been through in your life”.

Do you think Major League Baseball should do anything to Mike Fiers because of his apparent use of pine tar?

MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart and Chandler Rome quoted Astros manager A.J. “He earned every opportunity to finish that”.

Don Wilson threw two no-hitters for the Astros, June 18, 1967, over the Atlanta Braves at the Astrodome and May 1, 1969, against the Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field.

Just before the month began, Fiers came to the Astros along with Carlos Gomez in a trade from Milwaukee. This was something else, though. He struck out 10 and walked three, before retiring the final 21 batters of the game. Puig was hitting. 333 with two homers and six RBI in seven games before getting hurt, and he owns a. 360 average in 18 road games during interleague play. “Just go and get it”.

Bumgarner crushed a fastball 418-feet over the wall in left field in the second inning; a two-run shot that gave the Giants an early four-run lead and all the cushion he would need on the mound. “He’s protective of me and my career and he doesn’t want me to get hurt, but in that moment, for me it’s once in a lifetime”. He smacked a two-run homer in his first at-bat and provided three of San Francisco’s 15 hits. Gattis is batting. 273 with 39 RBIs in 61 home games. The Dodgers’ lead in the NL West is down to 1 1/2 games over San Francisco.

The Astros had not enjoyed a no-hitter since 2003, when six pitchers combined for the effort.

The left-hander matched his season highs with six runs and nine hits allowed in 5 1/3 innings of Monday’s 9-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Fiers was a 22nd-round pick of the Brewers in 2009. This was the 59th start of Fiers career. “It’s just good to give my team, my bullpen a rest. It’s been really nice for him to step into this situation and done what he has so far”. Mattingly is also hoping Yasiel Puig will return to the lineup Saturday following his strained right hamstring. He helped push the Astros to a 67-56 record, three games up in the division. The right-hander retired 18 of the last 19, including the last 15.
