Orioles turn Keegan Akin’s potential 7-inning no-hitter into 11-2 loss to Blue Jays after late meltdown

With only seven innings scheduled and six completed in breezy fashion with no hits allowed, Orioles rookie left-hander Keegan Akin was well on his way to a quick and memorable, albeit unofficial, no-hitter.

Just as quickly to begin the seventh, he lost his bid for that piece of history — and the game along with it.

Leading 1-0 thanks to a home run by Cedric Mullins in the third inning, Akin allowed a single to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on his first pitch of the seventh inning and a go-ahead home run to Bo Bichette four pitches later.
