Alec Mills went the distance Sunday afternoon, allowing only three baserunners via walk as he logged the 16th no-hitter in Chicago Cubs franchise history. He got plenty of run support from his offense and was able to cruise with a big lead, retiring the final seven batters he faced. This was the second no-no by a Cubs pitcher in Miller Park since 2008, two more than the Brewers have ever pitched there.
Though Mills only recorded five strikeouts, he was aggressive with his fastball and sinker to get early strike calls. He also dialed up his curveball usage from both his last start against the Brewers back on August 14 and his most recent outing against the Reds.
