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 (AL) and AL West division, 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 Toronto 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.
José Altuve, Yordan Álvarez, and Kyle Tucker were each named to the AL All-Star team. Walker Janek, a catcher from Sam Houston State, was the Astros' top selection from the 2024 MLB draft, at number 28 overall. On July 21 at T-Mobile Park, Alvarez hit for the cycle, the tenth time in franchise history. The Astros' pitching staff produced a record-setting August and threw three additional no-hit bids of seven innings or more, highlighted by starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti being named AL Rookie of the Month, and closer Josh Hader as AL Reliever of the Month.
On September 13, the Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels, 5–3, to collect the 5,000th win in franchise history, becoming only the second expansion team to do so.[a][1]
