James has become just the 2nd Canadian born pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball to throw a 'no-hitter'.
The Seattle Mariners southpaw from Ladner shutout the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 last night in Toronto. James needed 99 pitches, striking out 7 and walking 3. He got some terrific support behind him, including a diving stop by 3rd baseman Kyle Seager to rob Kevin Pillar of a hit in the 7th.
James's final pitch to Josh Donaldson was clocked at 99 mph. It was also the first complete game of his Major League career.
'The last inning was just fastballs. I was just out there throwing as hard as I could and guys were make every play behind me, James told Rogers Sportsnet. He went on to say that it's very special being able to get it done in Canada, in front of Canadian fans.
The last time a Canadian threw a no-hitter was back in 1945, by Dick Fowler.
The Delta Secondary graduates previous start saw him record a career high 16 stikeouts against Oakland.
Our boy is on a roll!
