In his stunning no-hitter against the Red Sox, Oakland left-hander Sean Manaea joined some pretty exclusive company. The only Athletics pitchers with 10+ strikeouts in a no-hitter: Catfish Hunter, Dave Stewart and, now, Sean Manaea.

Sean Manaea? Sean Manaea! The first no-hitter of the 2018 season has come from a very unexpected place as the A's lefty outdueled Chris Sale and shut down the best team in the majors for Oakland's first no-hitter since Dallas Braden's 2010 perfect game.
Dan Mullen ESPN.com
A no-hit bid with Chris Sale on the mound is always a possibility — but tonight in Oakland, it's been the other guy on the mound putting up zeroes as Sean Manaea has held the Red Sox hitless through 8 innings. How surprising is this no-hit bid? Well, the Oakland lefty was just one-year-old last time Boston was no-hit, in 1993.

Oakland A's starter Sean Manaea is deep in a very unexpected no-hit bid against the Red Sox. If he can get the final 3 outs, it will be Oakland's first no-hitter since Dallas Braden's perfect game in May of 2010. Boston hasn't been no-hit since 1993.

Mookie Betts hit his second leadoff homer in three games, Andrew Benintendi homered and drove in three runs and the Boston Red Sox completed a dominant sweep of the AL West-leading Los Angeles Angels with an 8-2 victory Thursday night.
Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer
The Red Sox sweep the Angels by a combined score of 27-3. They're the first team to start 16-2 since the 1987 Brewers, even though their starting middle infield is on the disabled list.
Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer
Andrelton Simmons shows, once again, why nobody does it better. Dives to his left and glove-flips to second to start an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play. Great turn by Ian Kinsler to get Eduardo Nunez, who is not slow.
Plate ump Layne struck by foul tip; X-rays OK
Plate umpire Jerry Layne had to leave in the bottom of the first inning of Thursday's Red Sox-Angels game when he took a foul tip off his right arm.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
OK, it's only the 18th game for Boston, but Mookie Betts is at .400/.493/.817 after hitting his second leadoff home run of the series against the Angels and that's an awesome line. He already has 21 runs, tied with Johnny Pesky (1950) and Ted Williams (1942) for most by a Red Sox player through 18 games.
