We’ll end with the loopiest combined no-hitter ever. It happened on June 11, 2003, at Yankee Stadium. Astros starter Roy Oswalt left after 1+ with a pulled groin. Reliever Peter Munro loaded the bases in the third on a walk, an error, and a HBP, but he escaped unscathed. Kirk Saarloos and Brad Lidge came on to retire ten straight Yankees. Then Billy Wagner would pitch a 1-2-3 9th to complete the no-no, but not before the Astros’ set-up man struck out four Yankees in the bottom of the 8th – Alfonso Soriano (naturally) fanned but reached on a wild pitch. Name this set-up pitcher whose five years with the Astros represented the longest continuous affiliation of his itinerant Major League career.
