The Astros thwarted the Rangers on Monday night, thanks to an outstanding performance from the team’s pitchers who combined to toss MLB’s first no-hitter since

Houston Astros right-hander Tatsuya Imai and relievers Steven Okert and Alimber Santa have combined to throw a no-hitter in a 9-0 win over the Texas Rangers.

Imai, the Japanese star who had struggled adjusting to life in the U.S., tossed six hitless innings before two relievers completed the gem.
