Yes, It's a No-No by Merritt Tuesday, April 8th , 2025 Houston Astros starter Josh Merritt said he was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew: He was one out from a no-hitter. For a couple of seconds, he didn't move. "I took a breath and told myself 'This is the last one,'" Merritt recalled. The left-hander collected himself, got the final out, and finished one of the greatest performances of his career. The Houston left-hander no-hit the Boston Red Sox, 4-0, at Fenway Park, finishing with 1 walks and 7 strikeouts, facing only 28 batters. "I knew for a while it was a no-hitter," Merritt admitted later. "But I really didn't worry about it until the last out. I thought I just wanted to win the game, and then I realized I wanted the no-hitter, too." View Boxscore |
