Alec Mills no-hit the Brewers on September 13, generating just five swinging strikes in the effort. That tied him with Dallas Braden, who tossed a perfect game in 2010, for the fewest in a no-hitter since Stats, LLC started tracking such data in 1988. It was the 16th no-no in Cubs franchise history and, though 28-year-old soft tosser seemed like the unlikeliest candidate to hold a team hitless, he deftly mixed speeds and changed locations to keep Milwaukee batters at bay in his 114-pitch gem.
27 outs.
