Astros throw World Series no-hitter: Four Houston pitchers silence Phillies in

The Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the World Series on Wednesday night by a score of 5-0 to even the series a 2-2, and they did so in historic fashion – Houston starter Cristian Javier and three relievers combined for just the second no-hitter in World Series history.

Javier, the 25-year-old right-hander, worked the first six innings without allowing a hit. From there, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly pitched the final three hitless frames to complete the bid. The combined effort is the first World Series no-hitter since Don Larsen’s perfect game for the Yankees in 1956. It’s the first postseason no-hitter since Roy Halladay shut down the Reds as a member of the Phillies in the 2010 NLDS — also at Citizens Bank Park.
