Overview
- Spencer Arrighetti, who carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning Friday in Houston, led the Astros to a 2-0 win over the Rangers.
- Justin Foscue ended the bid with a one-out single off Arrighetti’s 102nd pitch, and catcher Christian Vazquez picked him off to end the threat.
- Isaac Paredes opened the scoring with a solo homer in the third, and Braden Shewmake added an eighth-inning RBI to extend his hit streak to 11 games.
- Two key plays kept the no-hit bid alive early as Zach Dezenzo made a diving catch in left and Christian Walker turned a tough-hop grounder into a double play.
- Arrighetti improved to 5-1 with a 1.50 ERA through six starts after beginning the year in Triple-A, while Jack Leiter allowed one run over seven in a tough loss with Jacob deGrom set to face Kai-Wei Teng on Saturday.
