Houston Astros starter Tatsuya Imai throws six scoreless, hitless innings and is followed by two relievers to finish a combined no-hitter against the Texas Rangers, according to reports from multiple outlets. Imai, a Japanese starter, begins the bid for a no-hit performance by retiring Rangers batters without allowing a hit through his six innings. After Imai’s departure, the Astros’ bullpen continues the effort, with two relievers completing the game with no hits allowed, producing the combined no-hitter. One outlet notes that Imai previously had struggled while adjusting to life in the United States before this performance, framing the no-hit outing as a notable turnaround. Across coverage, the key elements are consistent: Imai sets the foundation with six hitless innings, and the Astros’ next pitchers close out the final outs without surrendering a base hit to Texas. The combined no-hitter is credited to the starter and the two relief pitchers.
