Houston Astros fans on Monday got treated to some early-season excitement courtesy of pitcher Ronel Blanco and play-by-play announcer Todd Kalas.
Blanco recorded a no-hitter in a 10-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The 30-year-old etched his name in Astros history in just the eighth start of his career.
Kalas had a terrific call of the game’s final out, painting the picture perfectly for Astros fans watching from home.
“Ground ball. Dubón, throws to first. No hitter! Ronel Blanco, in his eighth career start, the 30-year-old makes magic on April Fool’s Day,” Kalas said emphatically.
