Milwaukee — St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Dustin May carried a no-hitter into late innings during a game in Milwaukee this week, striking out multiple batters and allowing only two baserunners via a hit-by-pitch and catcher's interference through the first seven innings. May entered the start with a 5.00 ERA and recorded multiple strikeouts while keeping the Brewers scoreless. This week the Cardinals scored their lone run in the fourth on a Jordan Walker single and a Bryan Torres triple, and the no-hit attempt ended in the eighth when Garrett Mitchell doubled and Luis Rengifo singled; May was removed after the eighth and team managers faced immediate bullpen and rotation decisions following his 87-pitch outing.
