Mariners Make History

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Mike

Maybe last night’s post about Seattle brought the Mariners a little luck — But it was Oh-No for the Dodgers and a No-No for the Mariners, who made history tonight by using six different pitchers who combined for a No-Hitter. Seattle’s 1-0 win was just the third No-Hitter in team history and was sparked by this defensive gem by third baseman Kyle Seager.

Seattle’s starting pitcher Kevin Millwood had to leave the game after 6 innings due to a groin strain. The team No-Hitter is the 10th in Major League history and the first since 2003, when the Houston Astros did it.
