Parker Messick was dominant on Thursday night, taking a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles. The Cleveland Guardians ultimately secured a 4-2 victory to begin their homestand.
José Ramírez provided early offense with a two-run homer in the first inning, his third in the last four games. Steven Kwan and George Valera added run-scoring singles later in the game.
Messick, making his 11th major league start, allowed only two baserunners through eight innings. He finished with nine strikeouts and faced one batter over the minimum before a single broke up the no-hitter in the ninth.
Despite the near no-hitter, the Guardians' bullpen closed out the win. Closer Cade Smith earned his fourth save, successfully navigating a bases-loaded situation in the ninth inning.
