There’s no greater challenge, or opportunity, for a starting pitcher than taking the ball in October, and there are some nights where everything aligns. MLB history has seen more than 3,000 postseason starts, but only a few pitchers have even crossed the seven-inning threshold with a no-hitter bid. And, of course, only two men have ever finished a postseason game having kept the ‘H’ column at zero on the scoreboard. The Astros had us thinking back to those two occasions when they finished off the first combined no-hitter in postseason history in Game 4 of the 2022 World Series in Philadelphia. Below, in reverse chronological order, is a look at the three historic postseason no-hitters, along with the closest no-hitter calls in postseason history, per the Elias Sports Bureau. POSTSEASON NO-HITTERSCristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly, Astros: 2022 World Series Game 4, No-hitterWhen Javier got the ball for Game 4, he had his work cut out for him, with the Astros down 2-1 in the series following a deflating Game 3 loss.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
