Ronel Blanco of the Houston Astros was pulled after seven hitless innings Sunday against the Tigers, and Ryan Pressly allowed Detroit’s first hit. Blanco, who threw the only no-hitter in the majors this season on April 1 against Toronto, had a strong game.
He finished with 94 pitches, 65 strikes, tied a season best with eight strikeouts and walked three. Blanco also made a good defensive play and ended with a solid outing despite being ejected earlier in the season.
