#2 Bido’s no hit bid ended in the sixth inning when Grant McCray got an infield hit that A’s third baseman Darrell Hernaiz barehanded and his throw was too late to get McCray who broke up the no hitter.

#3 Bido’s effort he struck out six hitters and walked two batters. Bido had a good mix of pitches and kept a potent Giants line up off balance for most of the game.
