Would it be the first no-hitter pitched here by the Cardinals or anyone else since 1983 when the late Bob Forsch pulled off his second? Adam Wainwright said he had felt it about two pitches into the game. “I had command of everything," he said. “I thought I was going to throw a no-hitter tonight.” Opposing 2021 National League Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes, who was his usual overpowering self, Wainwright felt there was an occasion to which to rise. “Tonight I had the same mentality as when we were in Toronto (facing Kevin Gausman). We're playing against a great team, against a great pitcher,” said Wainwright. “The guy (Burnes) is a reigning Cy Young winner. Everybody thinks I'm too old — that's what I'm thinking in my mind too.
