How's this for a debut? Cardinals right-hander Daniel Poncedeleon threw seven no-hit innings before reliever Jordan Hicks allowed the first Reds hit on a Phillip Ervin single in the eighth on Monday.
The 26-year-old fanned three and walked three on 116 pitches. In MLB history, only one pitcher has thrown a no-hitter in his debut: Bumpus Jones in 1892.
