Orioles pull starter Hess despite bid for no-hitter Globe_Sports
The look on David Hess's face says it all. After throwing 6 and 2/3 innings of no-hit ball, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde gave him the hook because he had passed the team's pitch count. Hess had thrown 82 pitches and his only blemish on the day was a walk to Blue Jays outfielder Billy McKinney.For Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, the trip from the dugout to the mound in the seventh inning was unbearable — and not because his starting pitcher David Hess was losing it.
Hess was in the process of throwing a no-hitter at Rogers Centre Monday night against the overmatched Blue Jays, his only blemish being a walk to Billy McKinney in the fourth inning. He had struck out a career-high eight batters, had throw only 82 pitches and appeared to be on the cusp of his first no-no.
Hess admitted he initially could not believe it when he saw his manger hop out of the dugout at that juncture of the game, when he was just eight more outs from no-hitting the Blue Jays. “I could tell that he really was fighting against himself a little bit because I think the excitement was there. But that’s a lot of respect toward him, just having that mindset, that thought process, that means a lot to me.”Hess was replaced on the mound by Pedro Araujo and he promptly walked Justin Smoak before he surrendered Toronto’s first hit of the game, a two-run home run off the bat of Randal Grichuk.
