MiLB pitcher makes Durham Bulls history with no-hitter

Justin Marks may not be as famous a name as Bull Durham's Ebby Calvin "Nuke" Laloosh has been for the Durham Bulls, but the left-hander etched his name in the Triple-A team's history books on Saturday.

Marks threw the first nine-inning no-hitter by one player in franchise history, tossing 130 pitches to defeat the Syracuse Chiefs 2-0.

The 28-year-old was drafted in the third round of the 2009 draft by the Oakland Athletics. He was signed to a minor-league deal by the Rays prior to spring training.

Prior to Saturday's contest, Marks owned a 2-9 record with a 4.30 ERA.
