John Means has been great all season for the Orioles, but he had no-hit stuff last night.

The Orioles starter threw a no-hitter in Baltimore’s 6-0 win against the Seattle Mariners. He did not allow a hit, walk or hit a batter in the game. What ruined Means’ perfect game bid was Sam Haggerty reaching on a strikeout in the third that was ruled a wild pitch by Means.
