| John Means Throwing Complete Game No Hitter Seattle, WA May 5, 2021 |
It happened yesterday in Seattle--John Means threw the first no hitter of the 21st Century for the Orioles.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first non-perfect no-no in Major League history that didn't include a walk, a hit by pitch or an error. This marked the first career complete game for Means, who tied a career high with 12 strikeouts. (MLB.COM)
What kept the game from being a perfect game was a batter reaching base on a dropped third strike who was subsequently thrown out attempting to steal second.
There have been 10 no hitters in Orioles history--6 since moving to Baltimore for the 1954 season. There is even a no hitter in Orioles history where the two pitchers combined for a loss. The last no hitter was thrown during the 1991 season.
Last evening, the Orioles won over Seattle, 6-0.
The Orioles are sitting one game under .500 and 3 games out of first place!
Congratulations to John Means on the game of his life!
