James Paxton has been great this season but his very best came last night. He became the third pitcher to throw a no-hitter in 2018! He did so in a 5-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in front of over 20,000 fans. What was really cool about this was that he’s Canadian and accomplished this major feat in Canada! Paxton is the first ever to accomplish that feat.
As always, there were some great plays on defense, but none greater than the diving stop by Kyle Seager down the third base line. He would throw a perfect one hop to first to record the out.
Paxton hails from British Columbia and is surely considered a star there if he wasn’t already!
