Yankees’ Corey Kluber Throws a No-Hitter

Kluber, 35, already had two Cy Young Awards on his résumé. It was the sixth no-hitter this season in the majors, and it came a day after the fifth.

Yankees pitcher Corey Kluber, a two-time Cy Young Award winner whose career was sidetracked by injuries in recent years, threw a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas, for a 2-0 victory. Kluber, a 35-year-old right-hander, struck out nine and allowed only a walk, to Charlie Culberson in the third inning. It was the first no-hitter by a Yankee since David Cone threw a perfect game against the Montreal Expos in 1999. It was the sixth no-hitter of the season, coming just a day after Spencer Turnbull of the Detroit Tigers completed one against the Seattle Mariners. The record for a season in Major League Baseball is eight in 1884, though the modern-era record is seven.
