May's No-Hit Bid Ends with Eighth-Inning Double
27 May
Summary
- Dustin May's no-hitter bid ended with a double in the eighth.
- May was removed from the game after allowing a single.
- Cardinals scored their only run in the fourth inning.
St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Dustin May's pursuit of a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers concluded in the eighth inning on Wednesday. The bid was broken when Garrett Mitchell hit a leadoff double, followed by a single from Luis Rengifo that led to May's removal from the game.
May, who entered the contest with a 5.00 ERA, had an impressive performance with nine strikeouts and no walks over his outing. He threw 87 pitches, with 62 being strikes. Earlier, shortstop Masyn Winn executed a remarkable diving stop and throw to first base to preserve the no-hitter in the fifth inning.
The Cardinals' offense managed to score the game's only run in the fourth inning. Jordan Walker initiated the scoring sequence with a leadoff single, eventually crossing home plate on Bryan Torres' triple. Only two Brewers batters had reached base prior to the eighth-inning developments.
American Family Field has hosted only two no-hitters in its history since opening in 2001. The previous instances involved Chicago Cubs pitchers Carlos Zambrano in 2008 and Alec Mills in 2020, the latter occurring without fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
