TheSeattle Mariners are aMajor League Baseballfranchise based inSeattle, Washington. Formed in 1977, they play in theAmerican League West division. Pitchers for the Mariners have thrown six (6)no-hitters in franchise history.[1] A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only when apitcher (or pitchers) "allows nohits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings."[2] The firstperfect game in Mariners' history (a special subcategory of no-hitter in which "no batter reaches any base during the course of the game")[2][3] was thrown on August 15, 2012 by Félix Hernández, who beat the Tampa Bay Rays in a 1–0 victory with 12 strikeouts.[4] The Félix Hernández perfect game and Hisashi Iwakuma no hitter both took place as Wednesday matinee games that were "Mariners Camp Day" where the team hosted local summer camps. Of the six no-hitters, two were achieved in theKingdome, three at Safeco Field—now known asT-Mobile Park—and one on the road, at Toronto'sRogers Centre.[5]
