Peter Lambert got hit on the pitching hand/wrist area fielding a comebacker off the bat of Nick Madrigal for the first out in the seventh. He threw a practice pitch but is leaving the game. He was at 91 pitches and the Astros already had two relievers warming.
Dusty Baker's thoughts on managing Jose Altuve in his new memoir: "Pound for pound, he was the baddest dude in the land and a model of perseverance. He summed up the character of that team, built on perseverance, belief, and staying positive."
Tatsuya Imai, Steven Okert and Alimber Santa combined to no-hit the Texas Rangers in a 9-0 win for the Astros. Imai was making his sixth MLB start and Santa his MLB debut. It’s the first no-hitter in MLB since Sept. 2024 and the 18th in Astros franchise history. Houston is 24-31.
