NEW YORK — Oakland Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning during Thursday afternoon’s game against the New York Yankees in the Bronx.
The southpaw permitted two runners to reach base during the third frame but escaped trouble by striking out slugger Aaron Judge on a called third strike using his changeup. Springs concluded the fifth inning by retiring José Caballero on a fly ball to deep left field.
During the sixth inning, Springs successfully used an automated ball-strike challenge that resulted in a strikeout of Ryan McMahon on a called third strike. He finished the sixth frame having thrown 72 pitches after Judge made a soft ground out to the third baseman.
Oakland’s franchise record includes 13 no-hitters throughout its history. The most recent came from Mike Fiers, who accomplished the feat on May 7, 2019, at home in Oakland against Cincinnati.
The Yankees organization has been on the receiving end of eight no-hitters during their franchise history. Their most recent occurrence was a combined effort by Houston pitchers Cristian Javier, Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly on June 25, 2022, at Yankee Stadium.
