The Baltimore Orioles just wanted to take the rubber game on Wednesday afternoon against the Seattle Mariners and come back to Camden Yards with a winning record on the road trip. John Means not only gave them a win but pitched the Orioles’ first no-hitter in 30 years.
Means was dominant on the mound Wednesday against the Mariners, striking out 12 while facing the minimum 27 batters, the lone of which reached base on a dropped third strike.
