Brosseau breaks up Manaea s no-hitter: Sean Manaea s bid to throw MLB s second no-hitter of the night and fifth of the season on Friday was broken up by Mike Brosseau. The Oakland southpaw had thrown seven no-hit innings before the Tampa Bay hitter, who specializes against left-handed pitching, laced a double to lead off the eighth inning. Brosseau came in to score and tie the game 1-1 on Mike Zunino s hit. The former Andrean teammates add the latest chapter to their storied careers. ESPN reporter Jeff Passan told The Times he hadn t heard of a hitter breaking up a pitcher s no-hitter, having both attended the same high school, but Passan pondered it potentially could have happened early in a game previously. Oakland went on to win the game 2-1 on a walk-off home run by Seth Brown. Manaea went 7 1/3 innings, giving up two hits, one earned run, one walk and striking out 10. Brosseau was 1 for 3 with the double and run scored.

SEATTLE, WA - Baltimore Orioles pitcher made history, Wednesday, becoming the first alumni of the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs to pitch a no-hitter in the major leagues.
Means kept zeroes across the board in the O s 6-0 win over the Seattle Mariners, striking out 12 batters on 113 pitches.
His gem is the first no-hitter in Baltimore franchise history since 1991, when four pitchers combined for the feat, but the first individual no-hitter since Jim Palmer did it in 1969.
MLB: San Francisco Giants at Miami Marlins
Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte will miss at least one week after being diagnosed with a fractured left rib.
The Marlins said Monday that an MRI exam detected a non-displaced fracture in Marte’s 12th rib. He will be re-evaluated in five to seven days.
Marte suffered the injury while batting in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 1-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. He tried to persuade manager Don Mattingly to let him continue the at-bat but was declined.
The Marlins will miss Marte, who is batting .316 with two homers, eight RBIs and three steals in 15 games this season.
