History was made at Safeco Field on Friday night as the Seattle Mariners used six — yes, six — pitchers to defeat the Dodgers 1-0 and complete only the tenth combined no-hitter in the annals of Major League Baseball. The unconventional six-man effort was necessitated by the early exit of starter Kevin Millwood, who allowed only one walk over his six innings of work, after he tweaked his groin warming up for the seventh. Relievers Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon League and Tom Wilhelmsen all worked together to finish what Millwood started, and secured a nice place in baseball history for themselves in the process. ''Those guys got all the tough outs,'' Millwood said. ''First six, it is what it is. I've seen a lot of people do that. From seven, eight, nine - those guys got all those outs and that was special to see.''
