The Big Maple picked the ideal place for the game of his life.

This is now two very impressive starts in a row for Paxton.
James Paxton has been on fire for the Seattle Mariners this season, and he took it to a new level on Tuesday night.
Mike Leake will get the nod for the Mariners. He received some outstanding support behind him including a diving stop by third baseman Kyle Seager to rob Kevin Pillar of a hit in the bottom of the seventh.
That wasn’t even the best play Seager made on the night. “As soon as he got to the eighth inning I called my entire family to make sure they turned the TV on”. However, he eventually settled into the game and looked dominant during the late innings, ultimately striking out seven Blue Jays.
When it was over, Paxton acknowledged the crowd.
Paxton, from Ladner, B.C., is the first Canadian to have a no-hitter since Toronto’s Dick Fowler did it for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1945.
Toronto police said Osuna, 23, was charged on Tuesday in relation to an incident that happened overnight.
Martin drew a round of applause from the 20,290 in attendance when he ended the sixth inning by grabbing a groundout from Seattle’s Guillermo Heredia with his bare hand and in one fluid motion threw the runner out at first base. “That was happening all night long”.
In 37.1 innings, Stroman has surrendered 46 hits, 32 strikeouts, and 18 walks on the season, while opponents are hitting.299 against him.
Top pitching prospect Nate Pearson was injured in his season debut in Dunedin when a line drive hit his pitching arm fracturing his ulna bone.
“Of all the places”, Paxton said in a postgame TV interview. Thanks in large part to Paxton’s efficiency-he didn’t throw more than 20 pitches in any single inning, had three where he threw fewer than 10, and averaged just 11 per frame-Paxton was allowed to get his 27 outs.
Jaime Garcia was lit up for seven hits and six runs in just 3 1/3 innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Indians.
