The Atlanta Braves made a pitching change, but their no-hitter in Game 3 of the World Series remains intact after six innings.

Left-hander Tyler Matzek is coming on for the eighth inning. Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and the Houston batters haven’t come close to a hit.
Minter worked the sixth and Luke Jackson pitched the seventh, protecting Atlanta’s 1-0 lead Friday night at Truist Park.
