Former Phillies pitcher Héctor Neris was a part of history on Saturday at Yankee Stadium. He threw a scoreless eighth inning of a combined no-hitter by the Houston Astros against the New York Yankees. Starter Cristian Javier struck out 13 over seven scoreless innings. Ryan Pressly threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
It marked the first time in 19 years the Yankees have been no-hit. On June 11, 2003, six Astros pitchers combined to no-hit the Yankees in the Bronx for the first time since 1958. Former Phillies pitchers Roy Oswalt, Brad Lidge and Billy Wagner were part of the combined no-no.
