Corey Seager thwarts Framber Valdez's no-hitter, but Houston Astros even series with Texas Rangers before Wednesday's finale.
jumped on the first pitch he saw with two outs and one on in the bottom of the ninth. Seager's two-run homer ended the no-hit attempt and Valdez's night but the Astros held on for a 4-2 series-evening win.
After Josh Hader replaced Valdez, he walked Marcus Semien ahead of Josh Jung, who nearly tied the game with a drive to right-field but it was caught at the wall to end the game. But Mahle and the Rangers were no match for Valdez, who threw his first no-hitter nearly exactly a year ago on Aug. 1, 2023. That was at Minute Maid Park in Houston. He walked one and struck out seven in that no-hitter against the Cleveland Guardians.
Tyler Mahle held the Astros to a run on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts over five innings. It's the right-hander's first appearance for the Rangers since signing a two-year deal in the offseason. Mahle had Tommy John surgery in May 2023 and has been recovering throughout the summer. He threw 76 pitches Tuesday night as he continues to build up strength and stamina.
