Title: Cubs No Hitter View count: 47 Rating: 5.0 (1 ratings) Description: On May 13, 1960 Don Cardwell was traded from the Phillies to the Cubs for Tony Taylor. Two days later, he no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of a doubleheader at Wrigley Field—the first no-hitter ever thrown by a pitcher in his first start with a new team. The lone baserunner was on a walk to Alex Grammas with one out in the first inning; Cardwell then retired the next 26 batters. Two ninth-inning catches enabled Cardwell to secure the no-hitter: one by right fielder George Altman on a Carl Sawatski line drive for the first out of the inning, and one by left fielder Walt "Moose" Moryn on Joe Cunningham's sinking line drive to end the game.
