Cardinals Pitcher Miles Mikolas Goes 8 & 2/3 Innings Before Giving Up a 2-Out Double

One out away! Cardinals ace Miles Mikolas took a no-hitter through 26 outs against the Pirates on Tuesday night, then it ended. Mikolas had six strikeouts and a shot at the Cards first no-no since 2001 before Pittsburgh’s Cal Mitchell played spoiler with a two-out double. The fly ball in center field just missed the outstretched glove of Harrison Bader. St. Louis won the game by a landslide (9-1), but it was an oh-so-close moment on the mound for Mikolas. He threw 129 pitches before the breakup. Packy Nuaghton came on for the final out.
