[edit] Biographical Information
Stephen Pryor was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 5th round of the 2010 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Alvin Rittman and made his pro debut that summer.
In only his 4th major league appearance for the Seattle Mariners on June 8, 2012, Pryor was credited with the win in a 1-0 combined no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Starter Kevin Millwood had to leave the game after six no-hit innings and the game still scoreless, victim of a mild groin strain. Charlie Furbush succeeded him in the top of the 7th, getting two outs but Elian Herrera reached second base on Furbush's error. Pryor came in to face Juan Rivera and struck him out. The Mariners then scored in the bottom of the inning, making Pryor the pitcher of record. However, he started the next inning by walking the first two men he faced, Bobby Abreu and Jerry Hairston; Lucas Luetge replaced him, then two more pitchers - Brandon League and Tom Wilhelmsen - completed the no-hitter, tying the record of six pitchers in a no-hitter set by the Houston Astros in 2003.
