Mike Fiers Pitches A No-Hitter Against The Reds

MLB.com reports:

A's right-hander Mike Fiers threw his second career no-hitter and the first in the Major Leagues this season in a 2-0 win over the Reds on Tuesday night at Oakland Coliseum.

Fiers also threw a no-hitter on Aug. 21, 2015, when he was with the Astros against the Dodgers in Houston.

"Today it went my way. Helluva game," Fiers said during a postgame interview.

The Oakland Athletics' Mike Fiers completed the 2019 season's first no-hitter, blanking the visiting Cincinnati Reds in a 2-0 win Tuesday night.

It was the second no-hitter of Fiers' career. In 2015, Fiers pitched a no-hitter for the Houston Astros against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It was also the 300th no-hitter in major-league history.

The Reds' first baserunner came with two outs in the fourth inning when Jesse Winker reached on an error by Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman, who was in a defensive shift. In the top of the seventh inning, the Reds' Eugenio Suarez walked, but was forced out on a double-play ball hit by Winker. Yasiel Puig then walked, too, but Derek Dietrich's pop out to third ended the inning.

The A's backed Fiers with two outstanding defensive plays. Second baseman Jurickson Profar made a diving catch on Kyle Farmer's popup into short right field and center fielder Ramon Laureano made a leaping catch at the fence to rob Joey Votto of extra bases.

"Ramon's catch, he's done that once or twice so that's a normal thing for him," Fiers said.
