The 2024 Houston Astros season is the 63rd season for the Houston Astros, a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 60th as the Astros, 12th in both the American League and American League West, and 25th at Minute Maid Park. They enter the season as the defending AL West champions and runners-up of the American League.
On April 1, pitcher Ronel Blanco threw the 17th no hitter in Astros history against the Blue Jays. It was also the earliest date a no hitter has been thrown in MLB history. More history was also made as the no-hitter marked manager Joe Espada's first career managerial win, the first such occurrence in MLB history where a manager got his first win with a no-hitter.
