Kevin Millwood and five relievers combined for the fourth no-hitter this season in a 1-0 home win Friday night against the first-place Dodgers.
It is the third no-hitter in Mariners history, following by Randy Johnson's in 1990 and Chris Bosio's in 1993.
BOX SCORE: Mariners 1, Dodgers 0
The Mariners were the victim of Philip Humber's perfect game April 21, when the White Sox beat Seattle 4-0. The Angels' Jered Weaver and Mets' Johan Santana also have no-hitters this year.
It was the 10th combined no-hitter in major league history. The last combined one occurred in 2003, when six Astros no-hit the Yankees in New York.
Millwood (3-5, 3.57 ERA) spent last season bouncing between the majors and minors but pitched effectively in the big leagues. The veteran of 16 seasons had no-hit the Dodgers through six innings, allowing one walk. However, he threw one warm-up pitch to start the seventh inning before leaving with a right groin strain.
Charlie Furbush relieved him and got two outs, though he made a throwing error that allowed Elian Herrera to reach in the seventh. Then Stephen Pryor struck out Juan Rivera to end the inning.
However, Pryor walked Bobby Abreu and Jerry Hairston to start the eighth. James Loney bunted the runners over to second and third against Lucas Luetge, who relieved Pryor.
After Brandon League relieved Luetge, A.J. Ellis lofted a ball into shallow left field that Chone Figgins snared with a running catch. Figgins had subbed for Mike Carp at the start of the inning as a defensive replacement. League then struck out Tony Gwynn Jr. to end the inning.
The ninth, which Tom Wilhelmsen started, was nearly as dramatic. Dee Gordon led off with a slow roller to defensive replacement Brendan Ryan at shortstop, who threw him out on a close play at first base. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly argued the call.
"He's made that play time and again," Wilhelmsen said. "Just a huge part of that no-hitter."
Wilhelmsen got the last two hitters to end the game.
Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the seventh when Ichiro Suzuki reached on a two-out infield single off reliever Scott Elbert. Ichiro stole second and, following Dustin Ackley's walk, scored on Kyle Seager's single.
