Imai’s No-Hitter Turnaround

Tatsuya Imai, Astros’ January signing struggling with an 8.31 ERA, delivered a jaw-dropping six-inning combined no-hitter against the Rangers — turning around a shaky start by pounding the zone and retiring 15 of 16 batters. Despite early woes, including walking two batters and feeling unbalanced, Imai adjusted his timing and rhythm, allowing just one baserunner in his final five innings. Manager Joe Espada praised his grit, and while Alimber Santa finished the no-hitter in his MLB debut, Imai’s performance was a massive confidence boost — and the first no-hitter since September last year.
