Daily News | Astros’ ‘electric’ Cristian Valdez no-hit the Phillies through six, and they could see him again
“Attack the hitters as quickly as possible,” Javier said later inside Citizens Bank Park, after his six-inning no-hit contribution to World Series history, after his own parents made it from the Dominican Republic, his father seeing his son pitch in the big leagues for the first time, his parents nonetheless predicting to him that he would throw a no-hitter.
“He was very, very electric tonight with the fastball,” said Astros catcher Christian Vazquez, who only asked for two pitches this night, fastball and slider, adding, “I think that’s the best fastball right now in baseball.”“Shows you the best pitch is still the well-located fastball,” said Baker, after Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh were the only Phillies batters to reach base against Javier, both on walks. No coincidence they bat left-handed. Righty batters have hit just .
Schwarber’s fly ball landed two steps in front of the warning track in left field. That was as close as the home fans ever got to cheering solid contact against Javier.
