St. Petersburg (United States) (AFP) - Toronto pitcher Marco Estrada became the first Major League Baseball hurler in 27 years to carry no-hitters into the eighth inning of consecutive starts but missed out again on Wednesday.

The Blue Jays won 1-0 over Tampa Bay on Chris Colabello's solo home run in the 12th inning, but the biggest excitement of the night belonged to Estrada.
