After pitching the second no-hitter of his career and the 300th no-hitter in major league history, Mike Fiers delivered the understatement of the night: "I'm just glad they got those lights working."
The start of the game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Oakland Athletics in Oakland was delayed 98 minutes due to a lighting malfunction. Three panels of lights -- about 100 bulbs -- above the left-field stands weren't working, but the teams eventually agreed to go ahead and start the game. As Fiers pitched to Joey Votto leading off the game, the bulbs began turning on.
