DETROIT (AP) — Matt Manning wasn’t upset about being pulled while pitching a no-hitter.
He said he didn’t even realize it until someone told him in the dugout.
“I had no idea,” he said. “I was like, 'well, dang,’”
By the time the game was over, everyone at Comerica Park knew what Manning and relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange had achieved.
Foley and Lange finished what Manning started, and the Tigers no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays in a 2-0 win Saturday.
Manning (3-1) pitched 6 2/3 innings and Foley got four straight outs.
