After right-hander Trevor Bauer went six no-hit innings against the Astros on Thursday, the Indians’ bullpen took over, but closer Nick Hagadone could not complete the feat after allowing a one-out homer to Jed Lowrie in the ninth inning of the Tribe’s 5-1 win.
“Any time you have a no-hitter going, it’s fun,” Bauer said. “There’s a special air in the building. Obviously, it’s unfortunate to see the home run, but the team won, and at the end of the day, that’s what matters. We took two out of three in the series and head home on a good note.”
Bauer threw 111 pitches, allowing five walks while striking out a career-high 11 batters. Kyle Crockett (seventh) and Scott Atchison (eighth) each tossed a no-hit frame before Hagadone allowed the Astros’ lone hit and run.
“The scoreboard is way too big not to know that you’re being no-hit,” said Lowrie, whose homer snapped the Astros’ 17-inning scoreless streak. “It’s a weight lifted off the whole dugout, the whole team. Hopefully, it was good for morale.”
