Former Kentucky star James Paxton threw a no-hitter on Tuesday night for the Seattle Mariners against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ten things about Paxton and the non-no:
1. It was the second straight standout start for Paxton. Last Wednesday, he struck out 16 Oakland A's over seven innings at Safeco Field. That tied the record for most strikeouts in a game this season. So over last two starts, Paxton has allowed five hits and zero runs over 16 innings while walking four and striking out 23.
2. Paxton's gem is the third no-hitter in Major League Baseball already this season.
