Manaea (3-2) threw a no-hitter against the Red Sox on Saturday, striking out 10 and walking two.
Manaea baffled the Red Sox on Saturday night and recorded the first no-hitter of the 2018 season. There will be some discussion regarding two plays in the game, including a questionable error called on Marcus Semien in the fifth inning. The second potentially controversial moment came one inning later when Andrew Benintendi appeared to reach first base safely on an infield hit, but was called out for leaving the basepath. However, neither should distract from Manaea's tremendous outing in which he induced 15 swinging strikes and allowed only three baserunners, none of which got past second base. This adds to his excellent start to the season as he now has a 1.23 ERA across 36.2 innings.
