HOUSTON - A’s starter Sean Manaea followed up his no-hitter Saturday with three 1-2-3 innings to open his start against the Astros on Friday, establishing an Oakland record for consecutive hitless innings, with 14.
Houston shortstop Carlos Correa ended the streak in the fourth with a one-out single that scored George Springer from second; Springer had reached on an error and took second on a flyball.
John “Blue Moon” Odom held the previous record, set from June 1-7, 1968. Odom did not throw a no-hitter in that stretch, though.
Oakland did not register a hit through the first four innings against Astros starter Dallas Keuchel.
