Detroit’s Spencer Turnbull has no-hitter thru 8 vs Mariners

SEATTLE (AP) — Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull has not allowed a hit through eight innings against the Seattle Mariners. Only one runner has reached base against Turnbull. Jarred Kelenic walked leading off the fourth inning for Seattle. Turnbull has struck out seven and thrown 100 pitches. He’s relied heavily on his fastball, but mixed in a strong slider to keep Seattle shut down. Mitch Haniger was the closest to a hit for the Mariners, with a deep fly out in the fourth inning and a hard one-hopper in the seventh. Turnbull never pitched more than seven innings in 49 career starts.
