Christopher Morel #5 of the Chicago Cubs hits a single for Chicago’s first hit of the game in the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field on May 26, 2023 in Chicago. Cincinnati shutout Chicago 9-0.

Christopher Morel broke up the Reds’ no-hitter with a sharp single to center field off reliever Eduardo Salazar leading off the eighth inning. It was just part of an eventful day for Morel.

With Seiya Suzuki getting a day off following a night game Thursday, Morel started in right field for the first time in his big-league career.
