Homer Bailey shocked the baseball world when he put together an outstanding performance against the St. Louis Cardinals. Bailey pitched into the 7th inning, allowing just two runs, while striking out eight batters.
There was one major problem, and it was déjà vu in the Queen City.
For an unfathomable second consecutive night, the Cardinals starting pitcher, who was making their starting pitching debut in the big leagues, took a no-hitter late into the game against the Reds. Tonight it was lefty Austin Gomber, who took a no-hitter into the 7th inning.
The Cardinals are the 1st team to have rookie starters not allow a hit over the 1st 6 innings in consecutive games since the 1964 Kansas City Athletics, via @EliasSports.
