Sam Jones holds the Cardinals hitless for seven innings but loses official no hitter

test

On September 26, 1959 — Sam Jones holds the Cardinals hitless for seven innings before the game, with two outs in the top of the eighth, is called. Although ‘Toothpick’ loses his bid for an ‘official’ by National League President Warren Giles no-hitter due to the rain-shortened game, the Giants’ right-hander gets his career-high 21st win of the season with the Giants’ 4-0 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Willie Mays and Willie McCovey home runs account for the runs.
