Hisashi Iwakuma on Wednesday threw the fifth no-hitter in Seattle Mariners history when he shutout the Baltimore Orioles in a 3-0 win to cement his place in history.
Iwakuma walked just three while striking out seven Orioles in the no-hitter. He got some help in the ninth inning when Kyle Seager made this sweet catch in foul territory:
The no-no is becoming a familiar thing for Seattle fans, who have now seen four at Safeco Field since it opened in 1999.
