N.Y. Yankees: Corey Kluber No Hits Texas Rangers

From the desk: CASHMAN'S NEW BRONX ORDER

Kluber Adds Name To Bronx Lore
Twelfth No-Hitter in Yankees History

On Wednesday, May 19, 2021, New York Yankees starter Corey Kluber pitches a no-hitter on the road against the Texas Rangers.  He faces one batter over the minimum, yielding only a walk to Rangers' third baseman Charlie Culberson in the third.  After which, Kluber retires the next eighteen consecutive batters.  The Yankees commit no errors in the field.  Corey strikes out nine batters while throwing an economical 101 pitches with an efficient 71 (70%) going for strikes.  Making his ninth appearance, Kluber improves to 4-2 with a 2.86 earned run average.  After an ineffective April, this marks his second stellar effort in his last four starts.  On May 2, he fanned ten Detroit Tigers over eight scoreless innings.  The Yankees scored both their runs in the sixth on runs batted in from Tyler Wade and DJ LeMahieu.  It's perhaps also worth noting Kyle Higashioka completed the battery.
