Good morning, Mets fans!
The Astros defeated the Phillies 5-0 last night to even the World Series at 2-2. The Astros threw the second-ever World Series no-hitter. Cristian Javier started and pitched the first six innings, then Bryan Abreu, former Met Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly each pitched an inning to secure the combined no-hitter.
Javier, through a translator, told FOX after the game “It’s funny. My parents told me today I was going to throw a no-hitter, and thanks to God, I was able to accomplish that.” The only other no-hitter in World Series history was Don Larsen‘s perfect game in game five of the 1956 World Series.
