After an ugly night from the Orioles pitching staff on Friday, the O’s needed a bounce back effort from their hurlers Saturday. John Means, Yennier Cano and Cionel Pérez delivered that and then some, combining to one-hit the Guardians in a 2-1 win.
John Means was the big story Saturday night and for good reason. Making only his third Orioles start since coming back from Tommy John surgery, Means took a no-hitter into the 6th and baffled Cleveland hitters all night. After getting through the 1st inning on only five pitches, the 30-year-old left-hander got two quick outs in the 2nd before striking out 3B Tyler Freeman to end the inning.
