John Tudor pitched a no-hitter today in beating the A's 4-0 in Oakland.

Tudor walked three and struck out four to get his 3rd win on the season.

The A's nearly broke up the no-hitter with 0 outs in the bottom of the ninth but a web gem play by SS

Rick Burleson stole a hit from Mario Guerrero and kept the no-hitter alive.

Tudor then walked PH Mike Edwards on 4 pitches, but was able to get Rickey Henderson to bounce out, followed by a Dwayne Murphy fly out to RF Dwight Evans to complete the pitching gem.

 

Sox-Tribe Complete Split Treaty

August 18, 1980 (Game #1) at Chicago – Ed Farmer (18) induced Jorge Orta to ground into a bases loaded 4-6-3 DP to end the game with a 3-2 win and the potential tying run at 3B. The DP preserved a win for Britt Burns (11-8). Len Barker (12-10) took the loss for the Indians.
