Ronel Blanco Pulled After 7 Amid No-Hit Bid As Astros Beat Tigers - ESPN

Ronel Blanco, a pitcher for the Houston Astros, was pulled from the game after 7 innings in a bid for a no-hitter. The Astros ended up beating the Detroit Tigers 2-0. Blanco's strong performance included striking out 9 batters and walking just one. He was replaced by Ryne Stanek after a leadoff walk in the 8th inning. Stanek allowed a single and then pitched a perfect 8th inning, but the Astros chose to bring in closer Ryan Pressly for the 9th inning, who proceeded to give up a leadoff single, but ultimately closed out the game for the Astros. Blanco's near no-hitter was the first such attempt for the Astros this season. The team has now won 10 out of its last 12 games. The Detroit Tigers have lost six of their last seven and will attempt to break their losing streak with their next game against the Astros.
