Three Astros Pitchers Combine to No-Hit the Yankees

Neris, 33, was the first arm out of the bullpen and he allowed a pair of walks. But he finished his inning strong by getting Aaron Judge, a leading candidate for this year’s A.L. Most Valuable Player Award, to line out to short.

Pressly, 33, who had allowed a game-tying three-run homer to Aaron Hicks in a 7-6 loss on Thursday, was electric in the ninth. He struck out the first two batters he faced — Anthony Rizzo and Josh Donaldson — and got Giancarlo Stanton to ground out to third to end the game.

Facing Gerrit Cole, who was nearly as dominant as Javier, Houston did not score until the seventh inning when J.J. Matijevic, a rookie first baseman, hit his second big league home run. Jose Altuve homered in the eighth against Michael King, and Yuli Gurriel, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter, added an R.B.I. single off Lucas Luetge in the ninth.
