Episode Combined No-Hitter Fuels Astros' Turnaround After Chicago Sweep Cover

Beschreibung

Following their trip up North to Chicago, the Astros leave Wrigley Field in pretty high spirits as they take all 3 games from the Cubs, gaining their second series sweep of the season. Traveling back to Texas to take on the Rangers in Arlington, the Houston Astros again make history as they take Game 1 yesterday flawlessly with a combined no-hitter from Tatsuya Imai, Steven Okert, and Alimber Santa with a shutout final of 9-0. Marking the team's first no-hitter since Ronel Blanco's outing in 2024, the Astros now have 18 no-hitters in the organization's history combined through the regular and postseason. Assessing the Astros' recent hot streak and last night's shutout in Arlington, Dan and Cole react to the Astros' Memorial Day weekend in Chicago rolling over into Arlington and pose to listeners: can this Astros season still be salvaged for another postseason?
