ARLINGTON, Texas - After throwing the seventh no-hitter in Oakland A’s history on Saturday against Boston, left-hander Sean Manaea was named co-American League Player of the Week on Monday.
Baltimore’s Manny Machado, who hit .500 with five homers in six games, was the co-winner of the award. Manaea is the first A’s pitcher to win weekly honors since Sonny Gray on Sept. 29, 2014.
The Red Sox were 17-2 entering Saturday and led the majors in runs per game at 6.5. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, former A’s starter Dave Stewart was the last pitcher to throw a no-hitter against a team that led baseball in runs per game when he did so on June 29, 1990.
