John Means pitched Baltimore's first no-hitter in 30 years and the organization's first no-hitter by a lone pitcher since Jim Palmer in 1969, and the Orioles defeated the host Seattle Mariners 6-0 Wednesday afternoon.
Means (4-0) faced 27 batters but was not quite perfect in matching his career-high with 12 strikeouts. Pat Valaika and Trey Mancini homered for Baltimore, which took two of three games in the series.
The only baserunner Means allowed came on a strikeout. With one out in the third inning, Seattle's Sam Haggerty swung and missed on a 1-2 pitch low and in the dirt. The ball went all the way to the backstop, allowing Haggerty to reach first base without a throw on the wild pitch.
