Shelby Miller makes me recall Dave Stieb:
The Braves' Shelby Miller just missing a no-hitter by giving up a clean single up the middle with 2 outs in the 9th inning reminds me of Dave Stieb's amazing journey to a no-hitter.
Consider this amazing group of starts:
May 31, 1988 1-hit Shutout - single with one out in fourth
His last three starts of 1988:
September 18 4-Hit Shutout - first 2 single with 0 outs in 4th, but no one scored.
September 24 1-hit Shutout - single with 2 outs in 9th- (by Julio Franco)
September 30 1-hit Shutout - single with 2 outs in 9th - (by Jim Traber)
April 10, 1989 1-hit Shutout - single with 1 out in 5th (by Jamie Quirk)
August 4, 1989 2-hitter - double with 2 outs in 9th (by Roberto Kelly)
August 26, 1989 1-hit Shutout - single with 2 outs in 6th (by Robin Yount)
AND FINALLY...
September 2, 1990 No-Hitter @ Cleveland
