US EditionJack Leiter's No-Hit Bid in Duel with Framber Valdez Ends in Letdown as Rangers Fall to Astros
- On Sunday at Globe Life Field, Texas rookie Jack Leiter nearly pitched a no-hitter through 6⅔ innings but lost the bid as the Rangers fell 4-3 to the Houston Astros.
- Leiter’s start marked his first time pitching into the eighth inning in 13 big league starts over two seasons, while he and Astros' left-hander Framber Valdez matched scoreless through nine outs.
- The Rangers scored three runs with consecutive singles and sacrifice fly against Valdez, who allowed three runs in the fourth yet secured the win as Houston rallied late.
- Leiter's attempt at a no-hitter was broken up in the seventh inning when Yainer Diaz, the catcher for Houston, launched a two-out, full-count home run, and the Rangers' bullpen then struggled in the eighth, surrendering a three-run homer that gave Houston the lead.
- The loss, amid bullpen struggles for the second time in three games, cost the Rangers a chance to lead their division before a six-game road trip against New York and Chicago.
