As a Cardinal, Jiménez threw a no-hitter against Randy Johnson and the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 25, 1999, beating them by a score of 1-0. He is one of the 20 rookie pitchers who have pitched a no-hitter in Major League history.[1] In his second start after the no-hitter, he again opposed Johnson and the Diamondbacks, and he again triumphed, 1-0, while pitching a complete game. This time, he allowed two hits to the D-Backs.
At the 2007 Pan-American Games, Jiménez tested positive for a banned substance and was subsequently removed from the competition.[1]
