The Cubs' Alec Mills has no-hit the Milwaukee Brewers
I'm not watching baseball as much this season but it's still pretty awesome that someone on my team got this. It's the second no-hitter of the season I believe. Some fun facts related to this:...
I'm not watching baseball as much this season but it's still pretty awesome that someone on my team got this. It's the second no-hitter of the season I believe.
Some fun facts related to this:
- Both Chicago teams have a no-hitter in the same season for the first time in MLB history
- Both no-hitters at Miller Park have been thrown by Cubs pitchers, although the first was a neutral-site game against the Astros in 2008
edit: Can I get the title changed to "The Cubs' Alec Mills no-hits the Milwaukee Brewers"? I think it fits better now that the day it happened has passed.
