There is always baseball happening \u2014 almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves.<\/p>\n
Don’t worry, we’re here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn’t have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball<\/a>:<\/p>\n A near no-no for the Guardians<\/p>\n Cleveland has had baseball long enough to have multiple no-hitters in its history \u2014 14 of them, in fact \u2014 but the last one came all the way back in 1981. To give you some perspective on how long ago that was, it\u2019s three years before the Guardians\u2019\u00a0manager, Stephen Vogt, was born. And hell, Vogt was born 10 years before FOX Sports was first founded. It\u2019s been a while, is the thing.<\/p>\n On Thursday, the Guardians had a chance at their first no-no in 45 years, when\u00a0rookie starter Parker Messick<\/a> got through eight no-hit innings against the Orioles. It was just the 11th start of his career, as he made seven of them in 2025 without losing his rookie eligibility, and Thursday was his fourth of the current season. He has shined throughout his brief time in the majors \u2014 his combined ERA through his first 65.1 innings in the bigs is 2.07 \u2014 but has never been better than on Thursday.<\/p>\n Messick tied a career-high with nine strikeouts, walked two and didn\u2019t allow a hit through the first eight innings against Baltimore. He would enter the ninth inning already at 106 pitches \u2014 his first time over 100 in the majors, and also the first time he pitched into the eighth or ninth \u2014 and give up a hit on the first pitch of that frame to center fielder Leody Taveras.<\/p>\n The Guardians kept Messick in the game at first, to pitch to shortstop Blaze Alexander and see if he could get out of this with a complete game, at least, but another single followed, and he was pulled. While Messick was charged with two runs on the day, those came about because the runners he bequeathed to closer Cade Smith both scored.<\/p>\n Cleveland did not end up breaking the no-hitter drought, but on the bright side: Parker Messick. He\u2019s been pitching like the kind of shutdown starter the Guardians \u2014 which are not exactly an offense-first team \u2014 need if they are going to thrive in the AL Central. That\u2019s not nothing.<\/p>\n Messick had help in securing the 4-2 W, most notably from star third baseman Jose Ramirez. Ramirez had a great catch in foul territory where he somehow managed to hold on to a ball that he snowconed while coming up against the wall\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026and he was also responsible for the first two runs of the day for the Guardians, when he belted a middle-middle 96 mph four-seamer over the fence in right-center field in the bottom of the first inning.<\/p>\n That\u2019s 289 career homers for Ramirez now, who looks likely to become the ninth-ever player with\u00a0300 home runs and 300 steals<\/a> at some point this summer.<\/p>\n Padres sweep Mariners for eighth-straight W<\/p>\n The Padres barely put up a fight for last year\u2019s inaugural Vedder Cup between San Diego and the Seattle Mariners, but things are going very differently in 2026. The Padres won on Thursday, 5-2, sweeping the M\u2019s and ensuring that the best result Seattle can get here is a season split with San Diego.<\/p>\n A four-run second inning did the job for the Padres. First baseman Gavin Sheets hit a one-out double, which was followed by back-to-back singles from DH Miguel Andujar and catcher Luis Campusano. Second baseman Jake Cronenworth would then reach on a fielding error to load the bases, which allowed a ground out by left fielder Ramon Laureano to score another run. Right fielder Fernando Tatis would then hit a two-run single to make it 4-0, and while the Padres didn\u2019t need another run for the dub, they got it in the seventh on an RBI single by third baseman Manny Machado.<\/p>\n Mason Miller came in for the save and struck out the side to give San Diego its eighth-straight victory.<\/p>\n Miller is on an absurd run at the moment: he now holds the second-longest scoreless streak in Padres\u2019 history, as he passed Randy Jones in this outing and is now at 30.2 innings without allowing a run. (The Padres are\u00a0wearing patches to honor Jones<\/a> this season, as died in November at the age of 75.) Cla Meredith\u2019s franchise record is 33.2 innings.<\/p>\n Oh, and Miller is getting there by being dominant in a way that has literally never happened before.<\/p>\n Miller has pitched in nine games and thrown 9.1 innings. He has 23 strikeouts against two (2!) baserunners. The last time he gave up a run in a Padres\u2019 uniform was Aug. 5, 2025, in his second appearance with the team: he struck out 42 batters with nine walks, four hits and no runs allowed for the rest of the regular season.<\/p>\n Caminero\u2019s timely homer, for his mom<\/p>\n Junior Caminero bashed 45 homers in 2025, so his going yard in 2026 isn\u2019t exactly a shocker. However, the Rays\u2019 third baseman\u00a0promised his mother<\/a> that he would hit a homer for her on her birthday, and like a good, devoted son, he delivered.<\/p>\n This wasn\u2019t just some random homer for mom, though. The Rays were down 3-2 to the White Sox in the ninth inning on the road when Caminero strode to the plate to leadoff the inning against new pitcher, Chicago closer Seranthony Dominguez. Dominguez missed with his first three offerings, and Caminero watched a 3-0 sinker up in the zone for strike one. Next came another 98-mph sinker, this time inside as it broke across the plate and right into the path of Caminero\u2019s bat instead of underneath it. It barely made it over the wall, but it got out in a hurry and counts all the same.<\/p>\n Tampa Bay would end up plating three runs that inning, and the White Sox couldn\u2019t muster a response in the bottom of the frame. The White Sox are now just 6-13, while the 11-7 Rays are winners of six in a row and atop the AL East.\u00a0<\/p>\n Angels rout Yankees as Trout makes history<\/p>\n
