Ronel Blanco threw the Astros 17th no-hitter in franchise history!
What a story. He worked at a car wash in the Dominican. Astros signed him for $5,000 to minor league. He’s a strong Christian and kept working hard on his pitching. This was his 1st major league start to night making history. It’s Astros 17 th no hitter in history. He was anxious to give God glory. Go Astros.
Great way to start the season.
Was lucky to be there last night. We thought the Astros would rebound from the weekend series with the Yanks but had no idea what we were in store for. Not only did the bats wake up but Ronel was dealing. His change up fooled them all night getting 5 of the 8 k's off the change up. So happy for Ronel, he has worked very hard in the Astros system to get to this moment. Congrats on your special night.
I love to read stories like his! Awesome work ethic. Giving God the glory He deserves, Amen. Go Stros!
