And this one was of the ONE-HIT variety!

ON the MOUND
What a gem for Monty! His second complete game shutout in as many outings!
What fun it is watching him blossom before our eyes 🙂
NINE innings ~ ONE hit ~ ZERO runs/earned runs ~ FOUR walks ~ SEVEN strikeouts

Back-to-back shutouts for rookie Mike Montgomery, and this was a one-hitter. No one saw this coming, but he's been brilliant. #Mariners

Mike Montgomery never pitched a shutout in 159 minor league starts. He has two in six major league starts.

Add Montgomery to list. He's first Mariner with back-to-back shutouts since Garcia in '01. First MLB rookie since Indians' Bowers in '06.

Mike Montgomery becomes just the 3rd pitcher in the last 40 years to throw 2 shutouts within first 6 games

One for the record books. @MikeMontgum22 is your #MarinersPOG. pic.twitter.com/Yhrz8ffmn9

AT the PLATE
Only SEVEN total hits but . . .
~ TWO homers (Zu and Brad w/a TWO run shot)
~ and a triple for LoMo
~ AJ w/an RBI single to score Kyle
~ Nellie scored on a ground out and a throwing error

IN the FIELD
* a DP (LoMo to Brad) ended the 1st of what would be SIX+ super fun innings

.@CupOfLoMo flashes the glove to start a 3-6 double play to end a scoreless first. LoMo has had 46 consecutive errorless games at first.

* some nice running catches by AJ

Brad Miller with a two-run blast in fourth as Mariners take 4-0 lead on Ian Kennedy. Miller's 7th of season.

Tough 5-4-3 double play that the Mariners just turned. Impressive scoop from LoMo at first base

— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) July 1, 2015

Runner at first is safe. Per many, many tweets, the replay seems to have made the right call.

— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) July 1, 2015

Montgomery is at 77 pitches through 6. I've got to think pitch count won't matter too much if he continues to hold Padres hitless. #Mariners

Yangervis Solarte ends MIke Montgomery's no-hit bid with one-out double in 7th.

— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) July 1, 2015

Another infield hit for Nelson Cruz. That's No. 8 this season

— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) July 1, 2015

Mike Montgomery finishes off one-hit shutout in 5-0 win over Padres. Just 12th MLB rookie with consecutive shutouts since 1980.

— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) July 1, 2015

That's a second consecutive shutout for Mike Montgomery – a one-hit gem. First Mariners' pitcher to do that since Freddy Garcia in 2001.
