También fue el primer triunfo del puertorriqueño Joe Espada como dirigente y uno que jamás olvidará.\n\nEl juego sin hits ni carreras del quisqueyano fue el primero de la joven temporada en las Mayores y el primero de parte de un serpentinero de los Astros desde que el también dominicano Framber Valdez lanzó un no-hitter de 93 pitcheos contra los Guardianes el 1ro de agosto del 2023 en el Minute Maid Park. Los 16 no-hitters de la escuadra de Houston son la mayor cantidad entre los equipos de expansión de MLB que se integraron desde 1961.\n\nBlanco sudó un poco en el octavo capítulo, cuando una rodada del mexicano Alejandro Kirk rebotó en su guante y se desvió hacia el segunda base. El hondureño Mauricio Dubón -- quien fue premiado con un Guante de Oro y acababa de entrar al partido para sustituir al venezolano José Altuve -- fildeó la bola y retiró a Kirk en la inicial.\n\n“Nos ayudó el hecho de que el corredor no era uno rápido y por ello pudimos completar la jugada, pero creo que, en la vida, cuando algo está destinado a pasar, simplemente sucede”, expresó el inicialista José Abreu. Y hoy era el día de Ronel. Estoy bien feliz por ello”.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Video","contentDate":"2024-04-02T02:10:43.811Z","preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({\"preferredPlaybacks\":\"mp4AvcPlayback\"})":"https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2024/2024-04/01/8bd63b75-d735a04a-3315f482-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4","type":"video","description":"José Abreu se lanza para hacer una impresionante atrapada en la 1B y lograr el 2do out del 9no inning, dejando intacto el no-hitter de Ronel Blanco","displayAsVideoGif":false,"duration":"00:00:19","slug":"cavan-biggio-grounds-out-first-baseman-jose-abreu-to-pitcher-ronel-blanco","tags":[{"__typename":"InternalTag","slug":"season-2024","title":"Season 2024","type":"season"},{"__typename":"GameTag"},{"__typename":"PersonTag","slug":"playerid-547989","title":"Jose Abreu","person":{"__ref":"Person:547989"},"type":"player"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"defense","title":"defense","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"no-hitter","title":"no-hitter","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TeamTag","slug":"teamid-117","title":"Houston Astros","team":{"__ref":"Team:117"},"type":"team"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"imagen-feed","title":"Imagen feed","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"highlight","title":"highlight","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"in-game-highlight","title":"in-game highlight","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"game-action-tracking","title":"game action tracking","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"style","title":"style","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"eclat-feed","title":"Eclat feed","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"international-feed","title":"International Partner feed","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"fan-duel","title":"Fan Duel","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"apple-news","title":"Apple News","type":"taxonomy"}],"thumbnail":{"__typename":"Thumbnail","templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/lx7dcqagznv4bsbraxc9"},"title":"José Abreu salva el no-no con gran jugada ","relativeSiteUrl":"/video/cavan-biggio-grounds-out-first-baseman-jose-abreu-to-pitcher-ronel-blanco"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"El no-hitter de Blanco fue salvado en la novena entrada gracias a una gran jugada del primera base cubano José Abreu, quien se lanzó hacia su derecha para atrapar un fuerte roletazo de Cavan Biggio para luego hacerle el tiro a Blanco desde el suelo para el segundo out del inning.\n\n“Cuando salió ese batazo, iba a tratar de ponerle el guante también, pero luego recordé esa jugada previa \\[en la octava\\] y quité mi guante a tiempo”, explicó Blanco. “Pero luego después de que Dubón fildeó ese batazo, sólo esperé a que pasara esa jugada”.\n\nBlanco estuvo tan controlado en la loma que el bullpen de los Astros no se puso a calentar sino hasta que Springer negoció la base por bolas en el noveno. Blanco ponchó a los tres bateadores en el cuarto acto y se encontraba en apenas 50 pitcheos al arrancar el quinto episodio.

En su 8va apertura en MLB, Ronel Blanco lanza no-hitter por los Astros
En su 8va apertura en MLB, Ronel Blanco lanza no-hitter por los Astros
HOUSTON -- El dominicano Ronel Blanco, quien no habría integrado la rotación de abridores de los Astros de no haber sido por las lesiones de Justin Verlander y el mexicano José Urquidy, lanzó el 17mo no-hitter en la historia de la franquicia al dominar a los Azulejos el lunes por la noche en el Minute Maid Park.
Después del último out, Blanco sonrió ampliamente antes de levantar los brazos por encima de la cabeza justo antes de ser abrazado por sus compañeros.
“Es una gran bendición para mí, para mi familia”, indicó. “La llegada de esta niña me ha cambiado la forma de ver la vida”
Blanco – un exjugador del cuadro interior quien se convirtió en lanzador a los 18 años de edad y visitó varias academias en la República Dominicana antes de que los Astros lo firmaran eventualmente por US$5,000 – lanzó el juego de su vida.
“Ha sido un largo camino”, dijo Blanco después del partido. “Muchos altibajos, muchas caídas, muchas veces tuve que levantarme. Pero creo que todo eso valió la pena para poder tener este momento”.

Blanco, de 30 años, retiró a 26 bateadores consecutivos entre pasaportes otorgados a George Springer en el primero y noveno innings de la victoria de Houston por 10-0 -- que fue la primera del club esta campaña. También fue el primer triunfo del puertorriqueño Joe Espada como dirigente y uno que jamás olvidará.
El juego sin hits ni carreras del quisqueyano fue el primero de la joven temporada en las Mayores y el primero de parte de un serpentinero de los Astros desde que el también dominicano Framber Valdez lanzó un no-hitter de 93 pitcheos contra los Guardianes el 1ro de agosto del 2023 en el Minute Maid Park. Los 16 no-hitters de la escuadra de Houston son la mayor cantidad entre los equipos de expansión de MLB que se integraron desde 1961.
Blanco sudó un poco en el octavo capítulo, cuando una rodada del mexicano Alejandro Kirk rebotó en su guante y se desvió hacia el segunda base. El hondureño Mauricio Dubón -- quien fue premiado con un Guante de Oro y acababa de entrar al partido para sustituir al venezolano José Altuve -- fildeó la bola y retiró a Kirk en la inicial.
“Nos ayudó el hecho de que el corredor no era uno rápido y por ello pudimos completar la jugada, pero creo que, en la vida, cuando algo está destinado a pasar, simplemente sucede”, expresó el inicialista José Abreu. Y hoy era el día de Ronel. Estoy bien feliz por ello”.
El no-hitter de Blanco fue salvado en la novena entrada gracias a una gran jugada del primera base cubano José Abreu, quien se lanzó hacia su derecha para atrapar un fuerte roletazo de Cavan Biggio para luego hacerle el tiro a Blanco desde el suelo para el segundo out del inning.
“Cuando salió ese batazo, iba a tratar de ponerle el guante también, pero luego recordé esa jugada previa [en la octava] y quité mi guante a tiempo”, explicó Blanco. “Pero luego después de que Dubón fildeó ese batazo, sólo esperé a que pasara esa jugada”.
Blanco estuvo tan controlado en la loma que el bullpen de los Astros no se puso a calentar sino hasta que Springer negoció la base por bolas en el noveno. Blanco ponchó a los tres bateadores en el cuarto acto y se encontraba en apenas 50 pitcheos al arrancar el quinto episodio. El diestro hizo nueve lanzamientos en el sexto y 11 en el séptimo, dejándolo con 81 envíos con seis outs para completar la hazaña.
Blanco dominó a su compatriota Vladimir Guerrero Jr. mediante un roletazo a la segunda base en su 105to pitcheo de la noche para sellar la joya monticular.
“Impresionante actuación”, exclamó Espada, quien se agenció su primera victoria como timonel el lunes. “Necesitábamos eso, y Blanco dio la cara y nos brindó una apertura increíble. Su cambio, como le cambiaba la velocidad a sus envíos – ellos tienen un gran lineup. Qué semana para este muchacho. Estoy bien feliz por él y por su familia”.
Los Astros, que venían de ser barridos por los Yankees para iniciar la temporada, recobraron vida en el plato y sacudieron cinco cuadrangulares, incluyendo dos de Kyle Tucker y el dominicano Yainer Díaz. Ambos se volaron la cerca en la primera y séptima entradas. El quisqueyano Jeremy Peña sacudió un bambinazo solitario en el segundo inning, para ponrle fin a una sequía de 293 turnos sin dar de cuadrangular. Fue su primer estacazo desde el 5 de julio del 2023.
