Cleveland Guardians rookie Parker Messick came up three outs short of breaking the longest no-hitter drought held by an MLB franchise.
Parker Messick took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, José Ramírez homered for the third time in four games and the Cleveland Guardians opened a seven-game homestand with a 4-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. Making his 11th major league start, Messick (3-0) faced one batter more than the minimum through eight innings before Leody Taveras led off the ninth with a grounder that just eluded diving second baseman Juan Brito and went into right field for a single. Blaze Alexander followed with a line-drive single to center before the rookie left-hander was removed to a standing ovation from the crowd of 14,748.
Messick nearly got the first no-hitter of 2026 after throwing 8 hitless innings.
Cleveland Guardians rookie Parker Messick has a no-hitter through six innings against the Baltimore Orioles. Messick walked leadoff hitter Taylor Ward before retiring the next 15 batters. Ward hit a deep flyball to center field in the third inning that Cleveland's Steven Kwan caught at the wall, and José Ramírez made a nice stop on a grounder by Coby Mayo deep in the hole at third to end the fifth.
