Con los Cardenales, Jiménez lanzó un no-hitter contra Randy Johnson y los Diamondbacks de Arizona el 25 de junio de 1999, barriéndolos con un marcador de 1-0. Es uno de los 20 lanzadores novatos que han lanzado un juego sin hits en la historia de las Grandes Ligas. En su segunda apertura después de haber hecho el no-hitter, volvió a contender con Johnson y los Diamondbacks, y volvió a triunfar por 1-0, al lanzar un juego completo. Esta vez, permitió dos imparables a los Diamondbacks. En los Juegos Panamericanos de 2007, Jiménez dio positivo por una sustancia prohibida y fue posteriormente retirado de la competencia. (es)
