No-Hitter: Red Sox Suffer First In 25 Years
Sean Manaea (who?!) surprised the baseball world Saturday night when he tossed a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox.
BOSTON, MA — The Red Sox fell victim to a no-hitter for the first time in 25 years Saturday night. Athletics lefthander Sean Manaea dominated the red-hot Sox in Oakland, striking out 10 and walking two in a 3-0 victory.
The first no-hitter in the MLB this season came from an unlikely source: The 26-year-old Manaea entered Saturday just .500 in his career and was facing the hottest team in baseball.
Boston still has the best record in baseball at 17-3.
