Left-hander Drew Smyly has a perfect game through seven innings Friday as the Cubs lead the Dodgers 13-0 at Wrigley Field.
Smyly, making his fourth start and his second consecutive start against the Dodgers, has relied on a knuckle curve to strike out nine — including six consecutive batters.
Smyly has thrown 93 pitches through seven. He was aided by a catch by Trey Mancini in foul territory hit by Mookie Betts to start the seventh, and Seiya Suzuki caught a shallow fly in right to end the inning.
