CINCINNATI -- When Scott Feldman was with the Cubs in 2013, he threw a complete-game three-hitter, his career best in terms of low hits. On Friday, the right-hander flirted with history, holding the Cubs hitless through 5 2/3 innings in a 5-0 Reds victory at Great American Ball Park.
On a sticky 85-degree summer night, Feldman struck out seven, walked two and gave up two singles over seven innings. The Cubs' best opportunity came in the sixth, but they were unable to take advantage of a miscue by second baseman Jose Peraza. With two outs, Jon Jay reached on Peraza's fielding error and rookie Ian Happ, who played at the University of Cincinnati, ended Feldman's bid with a solid single to right-center.
