The Michael Berry show the Houston Astros since entering the league in 1962 have had a pitcher on the mound wearing their uniform throw a no hitter 17 times

which is more than any other club in all of baseball

the Los Angeles Dodgers with 13.

It was 16 times until tomorrow,

until yesterday afternoon,

when a most unlikely story,

an Astro with only his eighth career start, Ronell Blanco, would throw a no-hitter.

It was the first win for the Astros of the season after a rough start. This kid, but he's not a kid anymore, had

never pitched more than six innings in a game. It's shocking that they let him. I'm still

mad about opening day and from bear and

pulling him out because we could have got the win and that would have changed things.

Back in 2016, this is where the Astros are very, very good. This is the story of baseball. You want to criticize the

Astros or understand the Astros or compliment the Astros. It is the

farm team. It is developing talent because nobody has done it the way they have back in 2016.

He was working part-time in a car wash to help his mother pay the bills when he was signed by the

Astros for $5,000. By all rights, Ronel Blanco should not have been on the Major League team and he certainly should not have received the start.

But with both Verlander and Jose Urquidi being injured.

He gets the start and not a lot was expected.

But a lot was delivered.

This crowd of 27,285, looking to see some history tonight.

Ground ball. Dubon, throws to first.

No hitter.
