Astros throw combined no-hitter against Yankees after Cristian Javier's dominant start

The New York Yankees have dominated the 2022 MLB season. Armed with the best lineup in baseball, a dominant starting pitching staff and a terrifying bullpen, the Yankees came into Saturday's game 52-19, the best record in baseball.

But on Saturday, the powerful Yankees met their match. The Houston Astros brought down the juggernaut Yankees in dominating fashion, throwing a combined no-hitter against the Evil Empire.

Astros starter Cristian Javier led the charge against the Yankees. Javier, who started the year in the bullpen, stymied the Yankees at nearly every opportunity. Two runners reached base against Javier during his commanding performance.
