Abraham Toro-Hernandez Backs Verlander No-Hitter With Blast
5 years agoRookie third baseman Abraham Toro wasn't initially in Sunday's lineup, heading to the bench as Aledmys Diaz was to start in his place. But after Yuli Gurriel was a late scratch, Toro moved into the lineup and had the biggest hit of the game, hitting a two-run home run in the eighth inning to give the Astros a 2-0 victory. Toro hit his second home run of the year on a Ken Giles fastball, driving in Alex Bregman and helping to seal the no-hitter for teammate Justin Verlander.
