That Orioles right-hander David Hess had no-hit stuff Monday night against the Toronto Blue Jays was obscured by the fact that he didn't get to chase it. That doesn't take away from one of the more encouraging aspects of this young Orioles season so far.
Hess, 25, dominated the Blue Jays through his 6 1/3 innings of no-hit ball, using his lone walk allowed in the fourth inning to dial into another gear with his fastball and strike out a career-high eight batters before he gave way to a depleted Orioles bullpen, which shrunk his 6-0 lead to 6-5 but helped the Orioles improve to 3-1.
