There were people around baseball who were surprised last November when the St. Louis Cardinals picked up an $11.5 million option to bring back Jaime Garcia.

It's a claim that's been thrown around for years by teammates and coaches, this idea that Jaime Garcia has the sort of rare movement that makes him a candidate to throw a no-hitter any time he takes the mound. On Thursday, he nearly did.

A few years ago, St. Louis Cardinals pitchers Adam Wainwright and Lance Lynn both admitted that Jaime Garcia had the best "stuff" on the team. Garcia's problem since his arrival seven years ago hasn't been his craft. It's health and how long he can hold onto it during a season. Thursday afternoon, Garcia looked as good as he ever has in a Cardinal uniform. He shut out the Milwaukee Brewers, allowing only a single hit and striking out 13 on only 104 pitches.

It had been a long time coming for St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia. Not since May 6, 2011 had the left-hander thrown a complete game but this afternoon he did just that and established a new career high in strikeouts for a game in the process.
