Arrighetti Takes No-Hit Bid Into Eighth as Astros Blank Rangers 2-0

The right-hander’s surge since a recent call-up highlights Houston’s growing pitching strength.

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.
