OMAHA, Neb. – Dustin Nippert threw a seven-inning no-hitter Sunday, helping Triple-A Oklahoma beat Omaha 2-0 in the first game of a doubleheader.
Nippert (6-2), who passed through waivers unclaimed less than a month ago, struck out five and walked two against the Royals' Triple-A squad. The Texas Rangers prospect won for the first time in his last four starts.
The 6-foot-8 right-hander was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Rangers just before the start of the regular season, on the same day his daughter, Carrie, was born. He was 1-2 with a 16.62 ERA in six relief appearances with Texas before going on the disabled list April 22 because of a foot injury.
Nippert started his rehab at Triple-A Oklahoma and cleared waivers at the end of May to remain with the RedHawks.
Nippert is 3-5 with a 7.55 ERA in 47 major league games over four seasons, including five starts.
