In the Orioles’ first game since John Means crisply mowed down the Seattle Mariners for a no-hitter, Matt Harvey offered a reminder of how difficult of a feat that is.
Harvey pitched a quick first inning, but nothing was prompt for him from that point forward in Friday night’s 6-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox that followed a 1-hour, 38-minute rain delay at Camden Yards.
His clean first inning gave Orioles pitchers 10 straight hitless innings, but a nine-pitch battle with Rafael Devers with one out in the second ended with a double cued to left.
