Oakland's Mike Fiers becomes 35th pitcher to throw 2 no-hitters
OAKLAND -- Coming off one of their worst road trips in recent years, the A’s returned home needing a lift. There might not be a better remedy for an ailing club than the one Mike Fiers provided on Tuesday night.
Fiers wasn’t flashy, with a fastball that topped out just over 90 mph. He didn’t rack up the huge strikeout totals, registering six on the night. But he was a puzzle for Reds hitters en route to tossing the second no-hitter of his career in a 2-0 victory at the Coliseum. It was the 300th no-hitter in MLB history, and he became the 35th pitcher with multiple no-hitters in his career, including the postseason.
It was the 13th no-hitter in A’s history, and was kept alive with some major help from second baseman Jurickson Profar and center fielder Ramon Laureano in the sixth inning.
