When was the last time the Yankees were no-hit?
The Yankees have only been no-hit seven times since 1900 and only once since 1958, that’s saying a lot about the talent in New York and even more for the talent in Houston this season.
Cristian Javier is almost certainly done after seven brilliant no-hit innings vs. the Yankees. He threw a career-high 115 pitches, struck out 13, walked one and outdueled Gerrit Cole while preserving a 1-0 lead.

Last time Yankees were no-hit: A combined one by Houston in 2003.
Ironically, the last time the Yankees were no-hit was another combined game in 2003 … by te Houston Astros.
