A fifth-inning base on balls to Kyle Kutbitza resulted in the only baserunner that Devenski allowed. This was the first complete game no-hitter in Lexington team history. In the first inning, third baseman Matt Duffy slugged a three-run home run to start the scoring for the Legends, on the way to a 3-for-5 bout. Duffy homered twice, collected five RBI, and ranged to make an acrobatic catch down the right field line for the defensive play of the contest. This was the second no-hitter in team history, following a combined effort on July 30, 2001, by Derek Stanford, Chris George and Kirk Saarloos.Cox Zack https://www.milb.com/news/gcs-37751804 Legends' Devenski fans 16 in no-hitter: Astros prospect allows one baserunner in 13th career start MiLB.com September 1, 2012 April 4, 2026 Devenski later pitched in relief during a combined no-hitter at the major league level for Houston on August 3, 2019.https://www.baseball-almanac.com/pitching/official-no-hitters.shtml Official no-hitters in Major League Baseball Baseball Almanac April 5, 2026 See also Texas Baseball List of first overall Major League Baseball draft picks List of Major League Baseball single-inning strikeout leaders Notes MLB Compensation Re-entry References External links 2012 Houston Astros season official site https://web.archive.org/web/20121004014317/http://houston.astros.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=hou October 4, 2012 2012 Houston Astros season at Baseball Reference Category:Houston Astros seasons Houston Astros Category:2012 in sports in Texas Category:2012 in Houston
