Yankees hitless thru 6 innings vs Astros day after no-hitter

NEW YORK (AP) — Houston Astros starter José Urquidy has thrown six hitless innings against the Yankees, a day after teammate Cristian Javier and two relivers combined on a no-hitter against baseball’s top team. The Yankees haven’t had a hit since the eighth inning of a 3-1 loss Friday night, a span of 16 innings. That matches the longest such drought by any team since at least 1961, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. No team has been no-hit in consecutive games, although the 1917 Chicago White Sox were no-hit on consecutive days by the St. Louis Browns. The second gem came in the second game of a doubleheader.
