Lots of choices for yesterday- Jon Lester, for example, threw a one-hit, no-walk shutout, and Alex Cobb of the Rays struck out 13, which is really amazing when you consider he didn’t even go 5 full innings…

but Shelby Miller of the Cardinals threw a one-hit, no-walk shutout WHILE ALSO striking out 13 and, oh yes, essentially had as close to a perfect game you can have while giving up a hit. Ernie Young Jr. led off the game against Miller with a base-hit, but after that, Miller put down 27 straight Rockies. And for that, he’s the MVP of Yesterday.
