Parker Messick is now the Guardians’ starting pitcher

The Cleveland Guardians have not experienced a no-hitter in nearly 45 years, the longest streak in Major League Baseball since Len Barker’s perfect game in 1981. Parker Messick nearly ended this drought, throwing eight hitless innings against the Orioles while striking out nine, but allowed hits to the first two batters in the ninth before being pulled. Despite this, he earned praise from manager Stephen Vogt and now boasts a 1.05 ERA with a 3-0 record in his first four starts. Messick’s strong performance positions him as a potential ace for the team.
