Houston Astros' Justin Verlander pitches against an Oakland Athletics batter during the first inning of a baseball game in Oakland, Calif., Wednesday, June 1, 2022. – Justin Verlander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Yordan Álvarez cleared the bases with a go-ahead double in the ninth and the Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 5-4 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.
Houston responded with four runs in the ninth, keyed by Álvarez’s three-run double. Aledmys Díaz and Alex Bregman also drove in runs for the Astros, who won their fourth in a row. Verlander came within seven outs of his fourth career no-hitter, which would have tied Sandy Koufax for second-most in MLB history behind only Nolan Ryan’s seven. He also lost a no-hitter in the eighth inning against Minnesota on May 10, a sign the two-time Cy Young Award winner is back in prime form following Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for all of the 2021 season.“Bittersweet, I guess," Verlander said. “I mean, we won. I had a good game until really one pitch.
“I basically made a statement that I only asked about one pitch during the game, and that was the ejection,” Kotsay said. “According to him, he told me he’d had enough of my asking and thus ejected me.”Astros: OF Kyle Tucker returned to the lineup after missing three games with a left foot injury, finishing 1 for 4 with a single and a walk.
