Bottom of the 9th Breakdown: Detroit Tigers Spencer Turnbull No Hits Seattle

Bottom of the 9th Breakdown: Detroit Tigers pitcher Spencer Turnbull (second round, 63rd overall, 2014) recorded the 8th no-hitter in Tigers history, and the first since Justin Verlander's feat on May 7, 2011 in Toronto. In his 5-0 win over the Mariners in Seattle (May 18, 2021), Turnbull gave up 2 walks, and threw 117 pitches, 77 for strikes. In the Bottom of the 9th he faced Mitch Haniger, the Seattle Mariners most consistent hitter, and struck him out on three straight pitches. The last pitch was a 95 mph four-seam fastball up in the zone. It was the first time in his career that he pitched into the 8th inning. Catching was Eric Haase, who was the hero in the Tigers' win on May 17. He played LF and hit 2 HRs.
