The St. Louis Cardinals organization witnessed its first no-hitter in 1891. On April 21, 2016, the Chicago Cubs were able to revel in Jake Arrieta‘s second no-hitter of his career. A gigantic congratulations is due to Arrieta.
That said, to hep make the Cardinals fans feel better, let’s take a quick look back at the no-hitters in Cardinals history.
The franchise’s first no-hitter, as is stated above, came in 1891 against the Louisville Colonels. First-career-start-pitcher Ted Breitenstein climbed the mound on October 4 and allowed only three baserunners in his no-hitter. The game finished with the Cardinals winning 8-0 which also stands as the largest margin of victory in the franchise’s no-hitter history.
