MLB 2018

Historic too. Anyone know why?

-First Canadian to throw a no hitter since 1945.
-First Canadian to throw a no hitter in Canada (MLB) EVER!
I thought it was pretty cool that the crowd here in Toronto gave him a standing ovation throughout the ninth inning. Paxton showing off that big Maple Leaf was awesome!

Wow, just heard about this.



  1. The umpires were given a lineup card with Asdrubal Cabrera batting second, and Flores third. Reds manager Jim Riggleman waited until Cabrera reached base to alert the crew. A little savvy gamesmanship on his part.

  2. Asdrubal Cabrera's double, meanwhile, is wiped off the books completely. The official scoring is a putout to the catcher.

Mariners’ Paxton throws a No Hitter!
Coool!! ⚾
First Mariner pitcher to throw a no hitter on the road. And, he's Canadian, eh! And he threw it in Canada, eh! There's nothing more perfect except if it was a perfect game.

Mariners are only a game out of first, and we are well past May 1. This is a good season already!
 
The Mariners just won another series. Win one, lose one, win a couple, lose one... Too bad they dropped the series with the Angels. They would be a half game back instead of a game and a half. But, that's still pretty good from a Mariners fan's perspective. They either get pounded or they are stellar, but instead of streaks, they are going hot and cold from game to game. Is that an improvement?
