MLB roundup: Astros throw combined no-hitter vs. Yanks

Javier threw 115 pitches and struck out 13, both career highs, over seven innings. Hector Neris tossed a hitless eighth inning and closer Ryan Pressly retired the Yankees in a 1-2-3 ninth inning to seal the no-hitter.

Herrera's eighth-inning sacrifice fly broke a 3-3 tie and made a winner of reliever Ryan Helsley , who got the final five outs for the Cardinals. Juan Yepez's one-out double triggered the winning rally. Pinch runner Edmundo Sosa took third on a wild pitch, and Harrison Bader was hit by a pitch. Herrera then plated the go-ahead run and Tommy Edman followed with an RBI single.

The game-winning home run came on a 2-2 slider by reliever Kyle Finnegan . Garcia led off the inning with his 15th home run of the season. Joe Barlow picked up the win, tossing a scoreless ninth. Kemp scored three runs and drove in two to help the Athletics snap a four-game losing streak. Zach Jackson picked up the win for Oakland. Lou Trivino earned his third save.

Cleveland starter Shane Bieber was in complete command of the game and with two outs in the sixth, he quickly got J.D. Martinez in an 0-2 count.
