Daniel Poncedeleon is pitching a no-hitter through six innings in his major league debut. The Cardinals starter is beating the Reds 1-0, walking two and striking out three. He allowed just 66 hits in 92 innings at AAA this season. We’ll see how long he gets to stay in his first start.

Update: Poncedeleon walks Votto leading off the bottom of the seventh, but retires the next three batters on fly balls. He has thrown 116 pitches, so we’ll see if he comes out for the eighth inning.

Poncedeleon suffered a serious head injury in the minors last season.

Update: Poncedeleon is getting handshakes and hugs in the dugout, so he’s out of the game.

Update: Jordan Hicks comes on to pitch the eighth inning.

Update: Phillip Ervin pinch hits and singles with one out in the bottom of the eighth. Now the Cardinals bullpen needs to try to hold the 1-0 St. Louis lead.

Update: Eugenio Suarez homers with two out in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at one. Poncedeleon will not get a win, despite seven no-hit, shutout innings.

Update: The homer is followed by single, single, walk, and a single as Bud Norris blows the save and takes the loss for the Cardinals. A nice, late comeback by the Reds in a very close game.
