    • Combined no-hitters in major league history
    Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Here’s some more interesting baseball history. The Cubs had Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge combine for a no-hitter over the Pirates Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field. That's still a rare enough feat that I thought you'd like to see a list of the 20 other combined no-hitters in major-league history. June 23, 1917, first game. B...2024

    Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Sure, they beat trash cans. But they beat the Phillies too. The Astros won the American League pennant in 2021. They won again in 2022 and finished off the deal with a World Series win over the Phillies. After all that, you might think the window is closing.

    Houston relievers Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly are scheduled to hit free agency this winter. The pair has 35 saves between them this season. Maybe Houston brings someone back.
