Oakland Athletics pitcher Jeffrey Springs took a no-hit bid into the 7th inning and combined with two relievers on a one-hitter, leading the A's to a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday. The win clinched Oakland's first series victory at Yankee Stadium since 2016.

Why it matters

The lone run came in the 7th when Max Muncy tripled and scored on a single by Tyler Soderstrom off Yankees starter Ryan Weathers.
