UNDATED (AP) — Major League Baseball is on pace to shatter the all-time record for no-hitters in a season.
Wade Miley threw the fourth no-hitter of the season while leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-0 shutout of the Indians. The left-hander shook off an 83-minute rain delay to start the game and followed Baltimore’s John Means, who no-hit Seattle on Wednesday.
Miley walked one and struck out eight on 114 pitches.
The Indians joined a dubious list by becoming the 16th team to be no-hit twice in the same season, less than a month after White Sox hurler Carlos Rodon did it to them.
Oakland’s Sean Manaea came within six outs of firing the fifth no-hitter of the year.
The lefty’s bid ended with a leadoff double by high school teammate Mike Brosseau in the eighth inning.
Seth Brown hit a game-ending homer as the Athletics topped the Rays, 2-1.
Also in the majors:
— Nolan Arenado went 2-for-4 in his first game against his former team to help the Cardinals beat the Rockies, 5-0. Jack Flaherty smacked his first career homer and became the majors’ first six-game winner, limiting Colorado to three hits over seven innings.
