Houston Astros pitchers Roy Oswalt, Peter Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel and Billy Wagner combine for the first no-hitter against the New York Yankees in 45 years, winning 8 – 0, and stopping New York at 6,980 games with at least one hit. The Baltimore Orioles’ Hoyt Wilhelm accomplished the feat in 1958 at Memorial Stadium, wiining 1 – 0. Houston’s sextet also sets a record for the highest number of pitchers to participate in a no-hitter in major league history (there had been two no-hitters shared by four pitchers).
