In what is surely a sign that their Season 19 bad luck is long behind them, the Seattle Mariners opened Season 20 with a 2-0 combined no-hitter against Arizona.
Eswalin Camacho started the gem for Seattle, but in a "forgot to reset pitch counts moment," left the game after dominating for 4 innings and only 39 pitches. Joseph Suzuki went an equally-impressive 3 innings for the win; Joe Davis and Doug Bay finished off the last 2 frames.
The Diamondbacks managed to reach base only once - Max Jacquez got to 2nd when Albert Santayana booted a 2nd-inning fly ball. Bruce Page homered and Guillermo Lopez doubled for the only runs Seattle would need.
