TORONTO – Justin Verlander continues to amaze as he tossed the third no-hitter of his career on Sunday in the Houston Astros 2-0 victory at Toronto. He finished the game with 14 strikeouts and lowered his ERA to a league-leading 2.56. He's 17-5 this season.
It's the 13th no-hitter in franchise history for the Astros and the second since the trade deadline, following the combined four-pitcher no-hitter the team tossed in August.
