Ronel Blanco Throws First No-Hitter of 2024 MLB Season
Astros Pitcher Blanks Blue Jays for 10-0 Victory
Houston, Texas - April 1, 2024
In a stunning performance, Houston Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco threw the first no-hitter of the 2024 MLB season on Monday night, marking a historic achievement for both the pitcher and the team.
Facing off against the Toronto Blue Jays at Minute Maid Park, Blanco dominated from the mound, striking out 11 batters while walking just one. The Venezuelan-born pitcher faced 27 batters and retired all but one, securing his place in baseball history.
The no-hitter is the first for the Astros since Justin Verlander's performance in 2019 and the fourth in franchise history. It is also the earliest no-hitter in MLB history, breaking the previous record set by Bob Feller in 1940.
Blanco's historic performance is a testament to his skill and determination. The 28-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the most promising pitchers in the league, and his no-hitter will undoubtedly go down as a memorable moment in Astros history.
