Ronel Blanco throws no hitter


 

Ronel Blanco was the final pitcher added to the Houston Astros' Opening Day roster. Now, he's forever in the history books.

The 30-year-old right-hander threw a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays at Minute Maid Park on Monday, leading the Astros to a 10-0 victory.

Blanco accomplished the feat in just his eighth career start and 25th major-league appearance. He secured it by getting Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground out to second baseman Mauricio Dubón.
