Mike Fiers’ no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds was the 13th no-hitter in Athletics history and the eighth since the team moved to Oakland.
Without two outstanding defensive plays on back-to-back pitches from Jurickson Profar and Ramon Laureano, the 2-0 win Tuesday night wouldn’t be as special as it was.
The two catches preserved what would be Fiers’ second career no-hitter and the second in as many seasons for the A’s.
