Zach Davies tossed six shutout innings, and relievers Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin and Craig Kimbrel sealed the deal in a 4-0 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 17th no-hitter in Cubs history and the seventh in Major League Baseball this season in front of 52,175 fans at Dodger Stadium.
The no-hitter was the Cubs’ first since Alec Mills’ no-no on Sept. 13 against the Milwaukee Brewers. It marked the second Cubs no-hitter at Dodger Stadium, joining Jake Arrieta’s feat Aug. 30, 2015.
The path to the no-hitter was a little unconventional. Davies walked five in his six innings, including the Dodgers’ leadoff hitter in the third and fourth innings.
