The St. Louis Cardinals have fallen just short of a no-hitter in consecutive days.


They retired 40 straight Colorado Rockies hitters between Friday and Saturday, matching the all-time record for most consecutive hitters retired by one team against another.


Shelby Miller started on Friday, following by Adam Wainwright.


Along with the record-tying string of 40 consecutive batters retired, the Cardinals held the Rockies hitless for a span of 50 batters between Young's single on Friday and Arenado's knock on Saturday.
