SEATTLE -- In his first start back in Seattle since throwing the sixth no-hitter in Mariners franchise history, James Paxton tossed another gem.
The left-hander pitched a three-hitter in his second complete game in three starts, leading the Mariners to a 7-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night.
Paxton (3-1) struck out eight and walked one in his first start at Safeco Field since his no-no two weeks ago against Toronto -- the only other game in which he has gone the distance in six major league seasons.
"We just jumped on his back tonight," Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
