Mike Leake's lack of success against his former club since joining the Cardinals rotation continued Friday night.
The righthander pitched eight innings of one-run ball in a 2-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in front of a Busch Stadium crowd of 44,653.
Leake even added a hit, breaking up Reds starter Amir Garrett's no-hitter with a third-inning single.
The problem was that hit was one of just two the Cardinals had all evening.
Kolten Wong's two-out single in the fifth inning was the Cardinals' second and final hit. Matt Carpenter's two-out walk in the ninth inning was the only thing that stopped a slide of 13 consecutive outs to end the game.
