On August 12, 2015 against the Orioles at T-Mobile Park, Hisashi Iwakuma became the second Japanese-born pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Major
League history, joining Hideo Nomo.

Iwakuma issued 2 walks in the 4th inning and 1 free pass in the 8th inning but did not allow a hit while throwing 116 pitches. It was the first no-hitter
in the American League since Félix Hernández’s perfect game (8/15/12).

It marked the 5th no-hitter in Mariners history (4th by a single pitcher) and Iwakuma’s first complete game in the Major Leagues.

Rick Rizzs Calls Final Out

“Iwakuma looking for that 27th out here in the top of the 9th. Hisashi looks in, the sign from Sucre, everybody on their feet. The windup and the pitch on the way. Swing and a fly ball, left-center field, on the run Jackson. HE MAKES THE CATCH! A NO-HITTER FOR HISASHI IWAKUMA!” — Rick Rizzs
