St. Louis Cardinals rookie Shelby Miller retired the final 27 batters on Friday night against the Colorado Rockies after allowing a single to begin the game.

He's just the fifth pitcher since 1961 to accomplish the feat.

New York Mets right-hander Matt Harvey has received most of the attention as the game's best rookie hurler, but Miller has comparable numbers.

Miller: 5-2, 1.58 ERA, 45.2 IP, 29 H, 3 HR, 11 BB, 51 SO, .179 AVG
Harvey: 4-0, 1.44 ERA, 56.1 IP, 27 H, 3 HR, 14 BB, 62 SO, .142 AVG
