Houston — It was billed as a pitcher’s duel heading into it. But as the A’s roughed up Dallas Keuchel, Sean Manaea came out shining again.
In his first start since throwing a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox, Manaea dazzled again as he managed to make even more history in a 8-1 blowout over the Astros.
The A’s left-hander held the Astros (17-10) hitless through the first three innings on Friday night, extending a streak that began with two perfect innings in the start before his no-hitter, making it 14 consecutive hitless innings. Manaea surpassed John “Blue Moon” Odom, who tossed 13 straight hitless innings in 1968, for the most consecutive innings without allowing a hit in Oakland history.
