OAKLAND — Sean Manaea watched as Marcus Semien fired a ball from short to second baseman Jed Lowrie, turned around, and jumped into the arms of catcher Jonathan Lucroy. History was made at the Coliseum.
Manaea no-hit the Boston Red Sox Saturday, requiring just 108 pitches to clinch a 3-0 victory against the best team in baseball entering the night in front of 25,746 fans at the Coliseum.
The no-hitter was the 12th by an A’s pitcher and the seventh in Oakland history. It was the franchise’s first since Dallas Braden’s perfect game on Mother’s Day May 9, 2010 at the Coliseum against the Tampa Bay Rays.
