VIDEO : Canadian Pitcher Throws No-Hitter In Canada

A mere six days ago we were talking about James Paxton turning in one of the most dominant starts of the season. Tonight he topped it. Last Wednesday Paxton faced the Oakland Athletics at Safeco Field and he gave them no quarter. He went seven innings in that outing, shutting out the A?s bats and striking out 16 souls. That set the mark for the most strikeouts in a game this season, tied two days later by Gerrit Cole of the Astros. Sadly for Paxton, however, the Mariners lost that contest when the Seattle bullpen was unable to hold a 2-0 lead in the final two innings.
