John Means Throws No-Hitter For Orioles Against Mariners With 12 Strikeouts

Another no-no this year

John Means did something that hadn’t been done by an individual pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles since 1969.

Means struck out 12 in a no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday afternoon. Jim Palmer was the last solo pitcher to throw a no-no for the O’s.

The Mariners had just one baserunner who reached on a wild pitch. Means did not give up a walk and threw 79 of his 113 pitches for strikes.

This marks the third official no-hitter this season. Madison Bumgarner threw an unofficial one in a seven-inning doubleheader for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
