The Opener: Astros No-Hitter,

Nolan McLean allowed 13 earned runs over his last two starts after previously limiting damage through nine outings. New York has lost six of seven games following a brief mid-May rebound. Tatsuya Imai and relievers combined for a no-hitter against the Rangers, with Imai returning from an arm fatigue stint and walking four while working six innings. Alimber Santa, making his MLB debut, pitched the final two frames. Colton Cowser hit walk-off and extra-inning home runs for the Orioles, including a two-run homer in the bottom of the 13th against the Rays. Jacob Misiorowski struck out 12 over seven innings against the Cardinals, retiring 15 straight batters after a first-inning walk.

"Mets righty Nolan McLean hadn't given up more than three earned runs in any start through nine outings. He's now allowed 13 earned runs over his last two starts, after the Reds put up a touchdown on Monday. New York has lost six of seven after briefly rebounding in mid-May."

"Tatsuya Imai and a pair of relievers worked together to no-hit the Rangers on Monday night. It was the first no-no in the big leagues since 2024. The outcome featured some improbable participants. Imai had been tagged for nine earned runs in 8 2/3 innings since coming back from a month-long stint on the IL for arm fatigue. The righty walked four, but navigated six innings for the first time as a big leaguer. After an inning from Steven Okert, it was Alimber Santa who finished the final two frames."

"“ I never pictured myself coming in and finishing off a no-hitter,” Santa told reporters (h/t Brian McTaggart of MLB.com). “ What I pictured was coming in and throwing strikes and maybe striking out one batter.”"

"Outfielder Colton Cowser entered the weekend with just one home run all season. He came through with a three-run shot to walk off Kenley Jansen and the Tigers in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. Cowser repeated the effort on Monday against the Rays, blasting a two-run homer to win the game in the bottom of the 13th inning. Baltimore will look to keep it going on Tuesday with heading to the mound against his former team."
