SEATTLE -- James Paxton didn't have no-hit stuff, but the Mariners lefty had more than enough to stifle the Tigers on Saturday night as his teammates provided plenty of hits -- and some pretty good glove work -- in a 7-2 victory at Safeco Field.
Pitching at home for the first time since no-hitting Toronto 11 days earlier, Paxton tamed the Tigers on three hits and two runs in the second complete game of his career. The emerging Mariners ace struck out eight and walked one as he's now 2-0 with a 1.70 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 36 innings over his last five starts.
