Wacha was attempting to become the first Cardinals pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Bud Smith did it against the San Diego Padres in 2001.
Wacha threw a season–high 111 pitches including 74 for strikes. He struck out eight and walked two leaving with a 5–0 lead.
It is the second time in Wacha's career that he lost a no-hit bid in the ninth inning.
