Something magical must be in the air this MLB season as Spencer Turnbull threw baseball's fifth no-hitter of the year.
The Detroit pitcher blanked the Mariners, 5-0, as he secured the Tigers' first no-no since May 7, 2011 and eighth no-hitter in franchise history. And, this is the second season in league history with five no-hitters prior to June. The last time this happened was in 1917.
Only two runners reached base with Turnbull on the mound. Jarred Kelenic walked in the fourth inning and later reached base again in the ninth on fielder's choice. José Marmolejos walked to lead off the ninth.
