OAKLAND -- Everyone at the Coliseum Saturday night knew they were witnessing something special.
Everyone except Sean Manaea, that is.
The A's 26-year-old left-hander didn't even realize he was throwing a no-hitter until the eighth inning.
“When Marcus (Semien) dropped that ball in the fifth inning, I just thought it was a hit,” Manaea laughed. “So from them until the eighth or ninth, I thought it was just a one-hitter. I didn't think it was a no-hitter. And then I looked up in the eighth and ninth, and I saw that there were still zeros. I was like, 'Whoa, that's weird.
