Oakland A’s fans almost got treated to a no-hitter on Friday, as
Sean Manaea carried one into the 8th inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. Unfortunately it was broken up by
Mike Brosseau, Manaea’s former high school teammate.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the majors that same night, another lefty starter was making a similar bid and managed to finish it off.
Wade Miley threw a no-hitter for the Cincinnati Reds, in a 3-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
Miley issued just one walk, and in the same inning a batter reached on an error, but both runners were stranded. Every other frame was perfect, with eight strikeouts overall. He needed 114 pitches to complete the gem. Click here for the box score.
