Former UK pitcher Paxton fires no hitter for Mariners

James Paxton pitched a no-hitter as the Seattle Mariners shut out the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 in Toronto. The former Kentucky hurler struck out seven and walked three to notch the sixth no-no in Seattle franchise history. The left-hander joined Dick Fowler of the 1945 Philadelphia Athletics as the only Canadians to record a no-hitter. Paxton is the first Canadian to throw a no hitter on Canadian soil.
