OAKLAND — The Boston Red Sox returned to the Coliseum Monday for the first time since hoisting the World Series trophy last October. But before they were crowned champs, it was Sean Manaea who found himself on top of the world at the expense of the Red Sox earlier that season.
April 21, 2018 is a day Manaea will remember forever. It’s the day he threw a no-hitter against Boston. From the pregame meal to the final out, Manaea remembers the entire day pretty vividly now just a couple of weeks away from the one-year anniversary.
“I remember eating sliders before the game,” Manaea said.
