The New York Yankees defeated the
Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. The
game took place at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas and the final score was
2-0. Corey Kluber started for the
Yankees and he was brilliant, historic as well as he pitched a no-hitter. The Yankees offense didn’t do much but
Gleyber Torres had two hits in his return to the lineup.
Kluber pitched nine innings giving
up no runs or hits and walking one while striking out nine. He was one walk away from a perfect game,
that is how dominant he was. It was a
masterful performance for him and the Yankees first no hitter since David Cone
Pitched a perfect game in 1999.
Hyeon-Jong Yang started for the
Rangers and he pitched 5 1/3 innings giving up three hits and two runs with
four walks and two strikeouts. He picked
up his first loss of the season. Brett Martin
pitched 2/3 of an inning striking out both batters, Taylor Hearn pitched two
innings giving up a hit and a walk with a strikeout and Hunter Wood pitched an
inning with a strikeout.
DJ LeMahieu had an RBI and drew a
walk, Luke Voit drew a walk and Aaron Judge had a hit. Torres had two hits and drew a walk, Kyle
Higashioka drew two walks and Tyler Wade had a hit and an RBI. Wade hit a triple and the Yankees were 0-1

the Rangers left one man on base.
In the sixth Wade hit an RBI triple
and LeMahieu hit a sac fly to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead and that would be the
final score.
