2006 NL Game: Mil. @ St. Louis

 August 5, 2006

 Milwaukee's Ben Sheets pitched the first no-hitter this season in MLB as the Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0. Only a walk in the 1st inning to Albert Pujols prevented a perfect game for Sheets. He struck out 9 batters in the effort and was probably just as happy to finally get his 2nd Win of the season.

Ben Sheets(2-5) was on top of his game in St. Louis as he tossed a beauty of a
no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Milwaukee Brewers won by a
score of 6 to 0.
 
Sheets was obviously at the top of his game as he set the St. Louis batters
down like so many dominoes.  He only walked one St. Louis batter.  The
tension built to a fever pitch.  After the 8th inning everybody in the
ballpark was anticipating what would happen in the 9th.  Milwaukee managed 8
hits in their victory.  
 
Anthony Reyes(1-4) took the loss.  He pitched 6 innings giving up only 3 hits
and 1 walk. After the game, Sheets was heard to say, 'This is something I
have dreamt about since I was a little boy - to have it come true is just
amazing!'
