Catcher Caleb Joseph had three of Baltimore’s nine hits. Alas, they have been hitting them out like insane lately, so an off night is to be expected.

“I’m truly happy”, Iwakuma said through an interpreter, according to The Komo News.

Kuma becomes the first American League pitcher to throw a no-hitter since his teammate, the man called Felix Hernandez, threw a flawless game in 2012.

The only other Japanese-born pitcher to throw a no-hitter was Hideo Nomo, who had two: September 17, 1996 at Colorado while pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers; and April 4, 2001 at Baltimore while pitching for Boston.

The Tigers lost Friday’s game to the Red Sox, 7-2, which led to tension bubbling over between Iglesias and McCann, and a hard shove on Iglesias’ part .

In what I described earlier as the biggest series for the New York Yankees this season, the team was able to secure the first of three games against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.

Baltimore, though, came out with a 3-2 victory to open this three-game set Friday night on Jonathan Schoop’s walkoff homer in the ninth to offset going 0 for 7 in such instances.

Baltimore has lost four of its last five games.

Sox pitchers have been feeling the burden, but Sunday’s starter, Carlos Rodon, refused to resort to excuses – whether it was the four errors or the five hits the Sox had.
