Cubs Achieve Combined No-Hitter Against Pirates

Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga, along with relievers Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge, combined for a no-hitter in a 12-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Imanaga pitched seven no-hit innings, striking out seven and walking two, before being pulled after 95 pitches. This marks the Cubs' 18th no-hitter in franchise history and their first at Wrigley Field since 1972. The combined no-hitter is the fourth in MLB this season and the 21st in MLB history. Despite the impressive feat, the Cubs' playoff chances remain slim, with FanGraphs giving them a 1.7% chance of making the postseason.
