San Francisco Giants pitcher Chris Heston has no-hit the New York Mets at Citi Field. Heston struck out 11, walked none and hit three batters, leading the Giants to a 5-0 victory. Only two balls got into the outfield with Wilmer Flores flying out in the second and Michael Cuddyer in the seventh.
Heston plunked Anthony Recker to leadoff the ninth, but struck out Danny Muno, Curtis Granderson and Ruben Tejada all looking to wrap up the no-hitter.
The 27-year-old former 12th round pick now is 6-4 with a 3.77 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. This is also Heston’s second complete game of the season, as he threw a two-hitter on May 12th against the Astros. He had struggled lately, giving up five runs or more in three of his previous four starts.
