(The Sports Xchange) - Taijuan Walker threw a complete-game one-hitter for the Seattle Mariners in a 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday.

The only hit Walker allowed was a solo home run by Twins third baseman Miguel Sano with one out in the fourth inning.

He retired nine in a row after that and 16 of the final 17 men he faced in all.

Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz finished with four hits and was a triple shy of the cycle.
