HOUSTON Astros starter Framber Valdez teetered on the brink of disaster early on, walking four of the first seven batters he faced. At that point, there were few signs he was going to be able to finish the second inning, much less work deep into the game.
Valdez reigned in his control and regained his composure, retiring 14 of the final 16 batters he faced without giving up a hit through six innings. The Astros couldn’t finish off the no-hitter Isiah Kiner-Falefa led off the eighth with a bloop single off Ryne Stanek and settled for a combined two-hitter in a 4-1 win over the Rangers on Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.
