Tigers' Spencer Turnbull Throws 1st Career No-Hitter vs. Mariners

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull threw the fifth no-hitter in Major League Baseball this season en route to leading his team to a 5-0 road win against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday.

Turnbull struck out Mitch Haniger swinging to cap an evening when he struck out nine and walked only two. He threw 24 first-pitch strikes out of 29 batters faced, per Rob Powers of News 5.

The 28-year-old started Tuesday by retiring the first nine batters before walking Jarred Kelenic to start the fourth.

No one else got on base until Turnbull walked Jose Marmolejos to begin the ninth.
