Wade LeBlanc knows he’s about as unlikely as any pitcher in the league to throw a no-hitter.
The guy who will oppose him on Thursday, Oakland Athletics starter Sean Manaea, recently did that against the Boston Red Sox. But LeBlanc understands his role with the Seattle Mariners.
“Maybe a guy with better stuff can kind of work through a game,” LeBlanc said. “But I got to attack hitters the first at-bat and kind of go off of that.
“Don’t beat yourself. A guy like me cannot beat myself.”
