Houston right-hander Ronel Blanco followed his no-hitter with one-hit ball over six scoreless innings, and the Astros beat the Texas Rangers 3-1. Six nights after throwing a no-hitter at home against Toronto in his first start of the season, Blanco held the World Series champs without a hit until Adolis García grounded a clean single up the middle with two outs in the sixth. Blanco then retired Evan Carter on an inning-ending fly ball and was done after 90 pitches. Yordan Alvarez hit a three-run homer for the Astros, his shot in the third coming right after Dane Dunning had issued consecutive walks.
