The Oakland A’s are no stranger to no-hitters, as Mike Fiers threw one earlier this season and Sean Manaea tossed one last year. Now their farm system is getting in on the action.
On Monday, two different A’s minor league affiliates threw no-hitters. Both were combined efforts featuring multiple pitchers, one by the High-A Stockton Ports and the other by one of the two Arizona Rookie League squads.
The Ports’ gem came against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, a Dodgers affiliate. The Quakes boast the best offense in the California League in terms of scoring thanks to their leads in homers and walks, though their batting average is one of the lowest in the league.
