At no-no's key point, Sucre steps up with big call

SEATTLE -- Hisashi Iwakuma had been throwing one of the best games of his career through seven innings on Wednesday, but that didn't mean he was out of the woods against a tough Orioles lineup.

The Mariners right-hander started the eighth inning of a 3-0 win by walking Jonathan Schoop, missing with a 3-2 splitter for his third and final walk in what would become the fifth no-hitter in franchise history. After striking out Ryan Flaherty, Iwakuma was faced with a 3-1 count to catcher Caleb Joseph, who came into the game with 10 home runs.
