Remember a time — brief, but existent, all the same — when it wasn’t totally crazy to suggest that the best pitcher on the Seattle Mariners was somebody other than Felix Hernandez? That time was 2013, specifically. Hisashi Iwakuma — the man who in Wednesday’s 3-0 win over the O’s became just the second Japanese pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the Majors — was a revelation that year, just his second season stateside.

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera made one more trip around the bases on Wednesday afternoon during batting practice at Kauffman Stadium. His path back from a strained left calf appears to be headed for home, or at least Houston.

Hisashi Iwakuma’s no-hitter — a 3-0 gem against the Orioles on Wednesday afternoon at Safeco Field — was the fifth no-no in Mariners history. All five have been thrown at home. Here’s a rundown of some other facts about the no-no.

Astros center fielder Carlos Gomez is dealing with a swollen and sore right knee after banging it into the wall while making a tremendous catch in the first inning of Tuesday’s loss to the Giants. He was out of the starting lineup Wednesday for the first time since the Astros acquired him via trade.

Chase Utley cleared waivers this week, which means he can be traded to any team before the Aug. 31 waiver Trade Deadline if he gives his consent. FOXSports.com reported Wednesday that talks between the Phillies and Giants have heated up, with the teams discussing prospects to be shipped to Philadelphia

Hanley Ramirez had hoped to be back in the lineup by Wednesday, but the soreness in his left foot has persisted enough to keep him out at least one more game. In fact, the left fielder will undergo further evaluation from the medical staff when the Red Sox return to Boston on Thursday.

While Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 27 with a broken bone in his left hand, manager Dan Jennings said before Wednesday afternoon’s contest vs. the Red Sox that the right fielder is working hard to return this season.

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was scratched from the starting lineup of Tuesday night’s 5-0 Nationals loss to the Dodgers because of left knee soreness.

Michael Brantley delivered a walk-off single off Branden Pinder in the bottom of the 16th inning, driving home Jose Ramirez as the Indians defeated the Yankees, 5-4, on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.

David Wright took another tangible step forward in his rehab from spinal stenosis on Tuesday, playing the field in a game for the first time since April.

The Mariners’ walk-off victory over the Orioles on Tuesday night capped an unprecedented slate in Major League Baseball. For the first time in the league’s history, all 15 home teams won on the same day. Prior to Tuesday, the closest the home teams have ever come was 12 wins more than a century ago, on May 23, 1914, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner struck out a career-high seven straight batters Tuesday evening against the Astros, surpassing his previous mark of five consecutive strikeouts.

Anthony Rizzo and Jorge Soler each drove in two runs Tuesday night to help Dan Haren pick up his 150th career win and first with the Cubs, who beat the mistake-prone Brewers, 6-3, for their fifth straight win and 11th in the past 12 games.

Astros center fielder Carlos Gomez made the kind of catch in the first inning of Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to the Giants that would make George Springer jealous. Gomez, starting his 11th consecutive game in center field since being acquired in a trade with the Brewers last month, made a leaping grab at the wall to rob Matt Duffy of what possibly could have been a home run, if not at least extra bases.

Eduardo Escobar lined an RBI double with two out in the ninth inning as the Twins rallied late for a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Rangers on Tuesday night at Target Field.

Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco suffered a bruised left wrist in the first inning of Tuesday night’s 13-1 loss to Arizona at Chase Field. D-backs right-hander Jeremy Hellickson drilled Franco with a fastball, and Franco collapsed to the turf behind home plate, grabbing his wrist before being helped off the field. Fortunately for Franco and the Phils, X-rays came back negative.
