Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: August 18

Pete Crow-ArmstrongI normally don’t do a recap of the Cubs’ Dominican Summer League teams, but the Cubs Red DSL team made national news today. Cubs Red beat Pirates Black 2-0 and three pitchers combined for a seven-inning no-hitter. But what is even more remarkable is that Cubs Red didn’t have a hit either! The Cubs Red team scored two runs in the first inning on two walks and two throwing errors. So both teams had a no-hitter in this game, although for the Cubs it was only seven innings and the Pirates pitchers only tossed six.

Here’s the box score for that game.
