Why more great outings from Sean Manaea are on the way

Entering play on Saturday, the Boston Red Sox had a 17-2 record and were averaging 6.47 runs per game with an 81.6 percent contact rate as a team, all of which easily ranked as the best in baseball.

Naturally, they were no-hit that evening, by Oakland Athletics left-hander Sean Manaea, who has since been added in more than 11 percent of ESPN leagues.
