Getty Alimber Santa completed the Astros’ 18th no-hitter in his MLB debut.
Christmas came on Memorial Day for the Houston Astros, who completed the first no-hitter in two seasons. Alimber Santa froze Brandon Nimmo on a backdoor sweeper, which survived an ABS challenge, to complete the 18th no-hitter in franchise history.
The last no-hitter came on September 4, 2024, when Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson, and Porter Hodge accomplished the deed for the Chicago Cubs. The last single-pitcher no-hitter was Blake Snell, who did it for the San Francisco Giants on August 2, 2024.
