Bob Melvin did his best to keep Sonny Gray from becoming chatty between innings of his no-hit bid. ''I'm not very superstitious,'' Gray said. The right-hander didn't allow a hit until Ryan Rua singled leading off the eighth inning, and the Oakland Athletics snapped their record 10-game losing streak on opening day by beating the Texas Rangers 8-0 Monday night. Trying to join Bob Feller (1940) as the only pitchers to throw a no-hitter on opening day, Gray dazzled through seven innings and allowed only two baserunners before Rua's sharp grounder to right field.
