Athletics pitcher J.T. Ginn is working on a no-hitter against the Washington Nationals on Saturday night. Multiple batters’ outcomes through the middle innings show Washington has not recorded a hit: Ginn has retired 18 of the 21 batters he has faced. The Nationals create limited opportunities without reaching base via hits. According to game accounts, Washington’s only baserunners come from walks rather than hits: two-out walks in the second inning and a two-out walk in the fifth. Through six innings, Ginn continues to keep the Nationals hitless while maintaining control of the strike zone and limiting damage to a small number of free passes. The game situation remains unchanged in the reporting provided, with Ginn still preserving the no-hit bid midway through play and facing the next scheduled batters in the second half of the contest.
