"Cuen, an 18-year old phenom form Cocorit, Mexico, fired a no-hit 2-0 shutout in the second game. . . "Yes I knew I had a no-hitter going all the time," exclaimed the jubilant rightander later. "I guess I was nervous in the seventh when I walked that guy." Cuen was called up from the East Coast Rookie League about six weeks ago and since then has compiled a 6 - 1 mark with the Astros. In Sunday's masterpiece, he walked five and struck out the same number.

In the last inning, the seventh, he walked the first batter and almost lost the no-hitter when Marty Braun laced a drive to the left field corner. But Bob Blakley came up with a running, over-the-shoulder catch, and Mike Baier grounded to Neil Rasmussen at shortstop to end the game. I got all three outs in the seventh on changeups," siad Cuen."I was mixing my pitches real well, and everything was working.""
