HOUSTON -- Spencer Arrighetti threw 7 1/3 no-hit innings and Isaac Paredes hit a solo home run as the Astros beat the Rangers, 2-0, on Friday night at Daikin Park.
Arrighetti’s no-hit bid was broken up by a Justin Foscue single with one out in the eighth. He was given a standing ovation as he walked off the mound. He yielded one hit with four walks and five strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings.
The right-hander has had a strong start to the season after being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in April. Across six starts, he has yet to allow more than three runs, and he has allowed one run or fewer in four of the six outings.
He got some help with a couple great defensive plays behind him. Zach Dezenzo robbed Alejandro Osuna of extra bases in the fifth with a diving grab on a ball in the left-center-field gap.

After committing an error on the previous play, Paredes made a strong throw on a chopper near the line and deep on the dirt at third base, and Christian Walker made a great scoop on the short hop to get Foscue at first and end the fifth.
Paredes hit his solo homer to the Crawford Boxes in left field with one out in the third, and Braden Shewmake extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI single in the eighth.
