The Astros held the Yankees to without a hit starting in the ninth inning of their victory over New York on Friday night. The Astros then tossed a combined no-hitter on Saturday, marking the first time the Yankees had been no-hit since Houston did it to New York in 2003.
Stanton’s home run ended the streak with the home run with one out in the seventh inning. Houston led 3-1 at that point. Josh Donaldson and Gleyber Torres failed to provide any other kind of offense.
The 16 1/3 inning drought was the longest by any team sine cat least 1961, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
