How Manaea’s no-hitter stacks up in history

The Red Sox entered Saturday’s game against Sean Manaea and the A’s at the Oakland Coliseum as the hottest team in baseball, having won 17 of their first 19 games on the season. But Manaea confounded Boston’s lineup and tossed the first no-hitter of the 2018 season, as well as the first by an A’s pitcher since Dallas Braden threw a perfect game on May 9, 2010.
