The club wrapped up the series with the Baltimore Orioles, winning three of four games to push them to 13-10 on the season.

After struggles with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves, it was a much-needed bounce-back series for the Guards. Yet, the series win, as needed as it was, wasn't the only highlight on the day.

In fact, it wasn't even the biggest highlight from the same game. As Jose Ramirez belted two more home runs and the team scorched their way to an 8-4 victory, the Guardians saw several more impressive feats be accomplished on this day.

Parker Messick went eight innings without giving up a hit. With just one inning left until he made history, Messick gave up two hits to Leody Taveras and Blaze Anderson.

Those two at-bats ended Messick's career night. It felt like a missed opportunity.
