episode Combined No-Hitter Fuels Astros' Turnaround After Chicago Sweep cover

Description

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?

Imai's Gem Lifts Astros Past Tigers 2-1 in Game 1 Thriller

Back on the road and now in Detroit for their 3-game series against the Tigers, the Astros are far from dead in the AL West race as they pull out of yesterday's Game 1 duel with a 2-1 victory, strengthening their stake and claim for the West's top seed. Outstandingly, Tatsuya Imai staves off the Tigers for 6 innings with 10 strikeouts, 2 hits allowed, and no runs allowed, giving the Astros a chance to pull out the win, making it now their 4th consecutive series won. Looking back on last night's tight pitching duel, Dan and Josh review Tatsuya Imai's outing and toss around possible scenarios of what the Astros potential starting rotation could look like in the near future with depth replenishing and players producing at their full potential.
