Chris Sale on the mound, and eight-game win streak behind you, and the Oakland A's your opponent. Slam dunk, right?
Wrong Tree Rollins-Breath! The mighty Red Sox offense took the night off on Saturday, allowing the immortal
Sean Manaea to no-hit them. No-hit them!

Jackie Bradley, Jr. 3,
Hanley Ramirez 2,
J.D. Martinez 2,
Rafael Devers 2 and
Tzu-Wei Lin 1. The
3-0 loss drops their record to 17-3—still epically good, but efforts like this make you wonder.
