On Wednesday, Mariners right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma no-hit the Orioles for the fourth no-no of the 2015 season (SEA 3, BAL 0). Iwakuma joins Hideo Nomo has the only Japanese-born pitchers to throw a no-hitter in the big leagues.
Teammate Felix Hernandez knows a little something about throwing no-hitters -- he tossed a perfect game back in 2012. Felix supported Iwakuma on Wednesday by wearing a Kuma Bear Hat, which the Mariners gave away as part of a promotion earlier this season. Here are some photos:

That's pretty awesome. No one wants a pitcher to finish off a no-hitter more than his teammates. Everyone in the dugout is living and dying on every pitch. Felix did his part Wednesday with the Kuma hat.
