Relive all the gamethread fun here as Manaea sets the A’s record for 14.1 no-hit innings in a row.
So here’s the story.
Our fearless heroes, the A’s of Oakland, led by tonight’s starting pitcher Sean Manaea, are red, red-hot, winning eight of the last ten games entering tonight’s contest and all Manaea did his last time out was throw a no-hitter against the best team in baseball.
However.
It’s Friday night. The A’s are 0-for-Friday this season (0-4 in total). They are facing off against the Houston Astros, the defending World Champions, who are every bit as challenging as the Red Sox, and their starting pitcher, Dallas Keuchel, who is every bit as unhittable as Sean Manaea.
