A’s Sean Manaea has no-hitter through seven against Rays

<p>OAKLAND, Calif. &mdash; Athletics left-hander Sean Manaea is pitching a no-hitter through seven innings against Tampa Bay on Friday night. </p>
<p>Manaea, who threw a no-hitter April 21, 2018, against Boston, fist pumped after his strikeouts — nine so far — and did a little walk off the mound. </p>
<p>Manaea didn’t allow a baserunner until Randy Arozarena drew a leadoff walk in the seventh, when right fielder Stephen Piscotty later made a great catch on the warning track on Brandon Lowe’s sharp flyball.</p>
<p>Manaea was in a pitcher’s duel with Rich Hill, who didn’t allow a run in six innings against his former Athletics club.</p>
<p>Manaea took the loss in the 2019 AL wild card game against the Rays in their last visit to the Oakland Coliseum.</p>
<p>“Let’s go, Manaea!” fans among the crowd of 5,058 yelled.</p>
