They did it! A pitching ‘tour de force’ tonight. Series tied up!
Sorry but if it isn’t the same pitcher, it’s not the same thing.
The cheatstros and their PED using pitchers.
And it’s in the books. Done. Phillie got no hits
Same pitcher?
Cool but a combined no-no? If he didn’t go nine it was just a nice outing.
Astros WIN Game 4 …. With a no hitter, shut out, against the Phillies.
Only 2nd time, since WS has been being played (since 1903), to make this history. First was in 1956.
I suspect these “armed observers” were FIBs on a mission to have just this type of Court ruling issued five days before those boxes are due to be loaded up with harvested “ballots”.
Its just a shut out.
They can scream not hitter all they want but in anyone’s book a no hitter is when the same pitcher is in the entire game.
Try Harvey Madixes game in 1959 for the best no hit loss in the history of MLB! 12 and a half innings of no hit ball and lost it.
I had tickets to his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Farewell Tour at Minute Maid Park, but they canceled it two weeks ago because it would have been on the same night as a possible World Series game 6.
We need that game now, so it wasn't canceled for a non-event.
I was looking forward to the concert, I haven't been to an Elton John concert since he appeared at The Summit in Houston in 1984.

W00t!
I think I held my breath for the entire bottom of the ninth.
The Babe threw 4 pitches in the game and is credited with a combined no hitter.
The Babe kicks off baseball’s first combined no-no, 103 years ago today
June 23, 2020
Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore combined for major-league baseball’s first combined no-hitter, 103 years ago today.
Ruth got the start for the Boston Red Sox during the first game of a Fenway Park doubleheader on Saturday, June 23, 1917, but the Babe grew increasingly agitated with home plate umpire Brick Owens as he walked Washington Senators lead-off batter Ray Morgan on four straight pitches.
As Morgan took his free pass to first base, Ruth continued jawing with Owens, according to Boston Globe sportswriter Edward F. Martin.
“Get in there and pitch,” the umpire ordered.
“Open your eyes and keep them open,” Ruth yelled.
“Get in and pitch or I will run you out of there,” Owens warned.
The Bambino threatened to punch Owens in the nose, and Owens had heard enough. When Owens gave Ruth the heave-ho, Ruth charged home plate and threw a right hook that glanced off the ump’s mask and landed on his left ear.
A scrum ensued, and Red Sox player-manager Jack Barry dragged Ruth off the field and gave the ball to Shore, a dependable right-hander who had thrown five innings two days earlier. Shore took the mound in an attempt to bring some calm to Fenway. After Senators third baseman Eddie Foster stepped into the box, Morgan took off to steal second on Shore’s first pitch. Replacement catcher Sam Agnew, who subbed in for the also-ejected Pinch Thomas, fired down to the bag to notch the game’s first putout.
Shore retired Foster and proceeded to send Senator after Senator back to the dugout, facing the minimum 26 batters en-route to a 4-0 win nicknamed the “imperfect game.” It was actually commonly considered a perfect game for years until it was later reclassified as baseball’s first combined no-hitter, with Ruth contributing 0 innings and Shore 9.
Baseball is weird. Celebrating that nothing happened.
Don Larsen’s not coming back.
