Messick’s No-Hit Bid Survives Eight as Guardians Edge Orioles 4–2 (Apr 16, 2026)

CLEVELAND — Cleveland beat Baltimore **4–2** on Thursday, April 16, 2026. Parker Messick took a no-hit bid deep into the game before Leody Taveras led off the ninth with a single that broke it up. AJC and News4Jax tied the moment to Cleveland’s long no-hitter drought.

Orioles at Guardians: Messick through eight, then the ninth

ESPN’s game metadata lists Messick with Shane Baz and Cade Smith in the pitching line for cross-checking who threw in leverage. The final stayed 4–2; Baltimore pushed runs without a hit parade, so the tension held even after the bid ended.

Secondary reporting cited 112 pitches for Messick, nine strikeouts, and 18 whiffs—numbers that show how he kept the Orioles off the board, not only that he did. Full clubhouse reaction ran in AJC and News4Jax.
