Jaime Garcia carried a perfect game into the eighth inning and finished with a two-hitter as the Cardinals defeated the Brewers 6-0 on Friday night.
"This is definitely one of the greatest days of my short career," Garcia said. "It was real exciting out there."
Garcia issued a four-pitch walk to Casey McGehee with one out in the eighth. On the next pitch, Yuniesky Betancourt grounded a solid single to left to end the no-hit bid.
"I noticed the sixth or seventh inning nobody was talking to me, but I knew the whole time," Garcia said. "I knew I had a perfect game and it so hard not to think about it."
