Champ Kind Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (Reuters) - Seattle Mariners right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma threw a no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday in a 3-0 victory that made him the just the second Japanese pitcher to accomplish the feat. Iwakuma, who improved to 4-2 in an injury-hit season, joined Hideo Nomo, who tossed two no-hitters, as he struck out seven and walked three at Seattle's Safeco Field in his first career complete game. The 34-year-old Japanese threw 116 pitches featuring a devastating splitter as he registered the first American League no-hitter since his team mate Felix Hernandez threw a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15, 2012.
