Before his Game 4 start, Astros' Cristian Javier spoke to his parents, who predicted he would throw a no-hitter. Houston combined for one to beat the Phillies to tie the World Series.
pitcher Cristian Javier graced the mound at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday night, he spoke to his mother and father back in the Dominican Republic about starting in Game 4 of the World Series. "Yeah, they told me last night," Javier said after the Astros did just that: combine for a no-hitter against theto tie the series at two apiece with their 5-0 victory.
The young right-hander had six no-hit innings going through 97 pitches, but manager Dusty Baker had seen this story play out before. It was on June 25 when Javier got the ball against the Yankees in the Bronx, and he lit up the stat sheet with 13 strikeouts and no hits through seven innings. The Astros’ bullpen would keep his no-hitter alive and combine for it when all was said and done in the 3-0 win.
Baker may not have said it directly, but the decision to remove Javier appeared to be based off how green he is in MLB and how late in the year it is to be pitching. Javier didn’t mind being taken out, as his only mindset was attacking hitters and going deep into the game. He did so using his"disappearing" fastball, as Baker called it.
