Cardinals Rookie Daniel Poncedeleon Through Seven No-Hit Innings vs. Reds in MLB Debut

Daniel Poncedeleon has been unhittable in his first seven innings in the majors.

The Cardinals' right-hander has thrown 116 pitches and surrendered just three walks so far Monday's game against the Reds.

Clinging to a 1-0 lead, Poncedeleon has racked up three strikeouts over seven hitless-innings.

Poncedeleon's start is even more incredible considering he is returning from a brain surgery that came after he was hit in the head with a line drive back in May of 2017.

In the eighth inning, Adam Duvall, the pitcher's spot in the order and Billy Hamilton are scheduled to come up.
