Iwakuma matata: It means no-hitter! Veteran missed more than two months due to injury, was considered a trade chip at Deadline
SEATTLE -- Nearing the non-waiver Trade Deadline, Mariners fans thought Hisashi Iwakuma might be history, a trade chip with a soon-to-expire contract that could have been used to acquire prospects. Instead, the Mariners held on to the 34-year-old, and he made history. On Wednesday, they were rewarded with the fifth no-hitter in franchise history and the third ever by a Japanese pitcher (Hideo Nomo threw two) in a 3-0 victory over the Orioles at Safeco Field.

Daughters' first pitches second to none Adriana Aviles was diagnosed with childhood leukemia in May
CLEVELAND -- In trying circumstances, baseball comes second. Family always comes first. In special circumstances, the two can join together. Such was the case Thursday, as Mike Aviles' twin daughters, Adriana and Maiya, took the mound together to throw out the game's ceremonial first pitches before Cleveland's 8-6 loss to the Yankees in the series finale. Adriana was diagnosed with leukemia in May, causing Aviles to take 10 days away from the team as she underwent initial treatment at Cleveland Clinic. Thursday's gesture is just the latest in a series of touching signs of support displayed by the organization this season, including members of the club -- along with team CEO Paul Dolan -- shaving their heads in solidarity with Adriana, and the production of "Team Adriana" T-shirts.

Barrier broken: Prospect shares that he's gay Brewers' Denson comes out in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article
David Denson, a first baseman/outfielder for the Brewers' Rookie-level affiliate in Helena, Mont., revealed that he is gay on Saturday night in a story that appeared overnight in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Talking with my teammates, they gave me the confidence I needed, coming out to them," Denson told Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel. "They said, 'You're still our teammate. You're still our brother. We kind of had an idea, but your sexuality has nothing to do with your ability. You're still a ballplayer at the end of the day. We don't treat you any different. We've got your back.'
