SEATTLE (AP) — John Means threw the major leagues’ third no-hitter this season and came within a wild pitch on a third strike of a perfect game, pitching the Baltimore Orioles over the Seattle Mariners 6-0 Wednesday.
Means (4-0) struck out 12 and walked none. Seattle’s runner was Sam Haggerty after he struck out swinging on a curveball in the dirt on a 1-2 count with one outs in the third inning that bounced away from catcher Pedro Severino.

Haggerty wasn’t on base long, getting thrown out attempting to steal second.
Means threw 79 strikes among 113 pitches, including first-pitch strikes to 26 of 27 batters. When Seattle did make contact against the 28-year-old left-hander, it was weak and there were no threats to fall in for a hit.
Means became the first individual Orioles pitcher to toss a no-hitter since Jim Palmer in 1969. It was the 10th no-hitter in franchise history — six in Baltimore and four as the St. Louis Browns. Baltimore had a combined no-hitter in 1991 against Oakland, the last for the franchise.

The Mariners are 17-15 on the season, competing for the top spot in the AL West. However, three teams are within three games of the No. 1 spot and losing on a no-hitter doesn’t bode well for the M’s moving forward. Back on April 13, the Mariners managed to score three runs off of Means in five innings. Today, Means got his revenge in the form of a historic performance.
During today’s game, J.P. Crawfordrecorded his MLB leading 100th assist of the season to get the final out of the top of the eighth inning.
