  • James Paxton Throws No Hitter In Mariners Win

    James Paxton first Canadian ever to toss no-hitter in Canada

    TORONTO -- James Paxton became the first Canadian to throw a no-hitter in his home country, pitching the Seattle Mariners over the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 Tuesday night.

    A 29-year-old lefty from Ladner, British Columbia, Paxton got a standing ovation at Rogers Centre. The crowd rooted for him in the late innings, realizing he was one of their own; his tattoo of Canada's national symbol includes an image of a family home near Vancouver.

    Paxton joined Dick Fowler of the 1945 Philadelphia Athletics as the only Canadians to throw a no-hitter.

    Paxton struck out seven, walked three, threw 99 pitches and benefited from an outstanding play by third baseman Kyle Seager to get the final out.
