Jeffrey Springs held a no-hitter into the seventh inning and combined with two relievers to allow just one hit, and the A’s beat the New York Yankees 1-0 on Thursday to take their first series at Yankee Stadium since 2016.
Springs (2-0) lost the no-hitter on his 84th pitch, when Ben Rice singled to right field after Giancarlo Stanton walked. Springs held the Yankees scoreless by retiring Austin Wells and Randal Grichuk.
Springs allowed only one hit to Rice in seven innings. The left-hander struck out six, walked two and allowed four runners on base.
The Yankees have just two hits in their last 17 innings and have not scored since scoring two runs in the first inning of Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to Luis Severino.
After Springs exited Thursday, Justin Sterner retired Aaron Judge on a groundout, with a runner on first, to end the eighth. Hogan Harris pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his fifth career save and first this season.
The A’s allowed a hit for the first time since April 15, 2024, at Texas. The Yankees were within one hit for the first time since August 15, 2023, in Atlanta.
The game was scoreless until Max Muncy scored on Tyler Soderstrom’s single off Ryan Weathers, after leading off the seventh with a triple that hit the center field fence.
New York had three at-bats with a runner in scoring position.
Weathers allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out seven, walked none and threw 101 pitches, the most of his career.
It was the 12th start to begin the season in which a New York starter allowed three runs or fewer.
The A’s lost Brent Rooker to back pain after he injured himself swinging in the first inning.
