Five games into the 2024 season, we have the first no-hitter of the year.

Making only his eighth career start, Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco walked the first batter of the game against the Toronto Blue Jays. After the walk, he locked in retiring 26 straight batters before walking Blue Jays outfielder George Springer in the top of the ninth inning.

With Springer on first and two outs, Blanco got Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground out weakly to second base completing the no-hitter.
