The Houston Astros were within five outs of baseball’s seventh no-hitter of the season, before Baltimore’s Maikel Franco hit a two-run home run with one out in the eighth inning. Houston starter Jake Odorizzi and reliever Christian Javier had held the Orioles without a hit through seven innings before the game went into a rain delay.
Jacob DeGrom of the New York Mets was the first pitcher to have his hat examined by umpires in a game as new rules regarding substances went into effect Monday across baseball. DeGrom tossed five innings of one-hit ball yesterday against Atlanta. He lowered his ERA to 0.50 – the lowest after 12 games in baseball history.
