Guardians edge Orioles 4‑2 on Thursday night in a game that saw rookie pitcher Parker Messick carry a no‑hitter into the ninth. 25‑year‑old Messick, 3‑0, struck out nine and walked two over 112 pitches, surrendering only two earned runs before a single by Leody Taveras broke the shutout after a solitary grounder that slipped past second baseman Juan Brito field.

Jose Ramirez added power with a home run, his third in four games, while Blaze Alexander collected a line‑drive single before being pulled to a roaring ovation from 14,748 fans. The Guardians’ offense rattled the Orioles’ pitching staff, with Taylor Ward’s single and Gunnar Henderson’s sacrifice fly driving in two runs in the ninth to secure the victory in a dominant performance.

Messick’s outing marks the longest current gap between major‑league no‑hitters, following Len Barker’s 1981 perfect game. Cleveland now sits atop the American League with a 7‑game win streak, while the Orioles fall to the bottom of the standings. The result reaffirms Cleveland’s surge and keeps playoff hopes alive for the Guardians as the season unfolds and fans await more victories and wins.
