Kyle Schwarber had the most Philadelphia response to being no-hit by the Astros

The Houston Astros pulled even with the Phillies in the World Series on Wednesday night and they did so in historic fashion with just the second no-hitter in the history of the Fall Classic.

Yup, a day after one of their pitchers seemed to be tipping pitches in a loss, four of their pitchers – Cristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero and Ryan Pressly – combined to no-hit the Phillies in a 5-0 win that left the home crowd in Philadelphia stunned.

Twitter had reactions.
