The last time a New York Yankees pitcher threw a no-hitter, the year was 1999, about 22 years ago. Fast forward to the present day, and Corey Kluber has finally broken that streak, recording a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday evening.
Kluber has battled injuries the past few seasons, pitching a total of 36.2 innings since 2018. He’s already pitched 41.1 this season and hosts an impressive 2.86 ERA coming off a long stretch of absence.
Ultimately, the Yankees needed to find an established number two starter, and Kluber forced his way back into the conversation as one of the top starters in baseball.
