ST. LOUIS — You can never predict when a no-hitter is coming. When it comes to Chicago no-hitters, just expect the unexpected.
The soft-tossing Mark Buehrle delivered two no-hitters – one a perfect game. White Sox reclamation project Philip Humber had a perfect game on a Saturday afternoon in 2012. Carlos Zambrano threw the Cubs’ first no-hitter in 36 years, but he did it at a neutral location in Milwaukee against the Astros because of Hurricane Ike.
Cubs starter Jake Arrieta cemented his Cy Young candidacy with a no-hitter last summer and he got another one in his fourth start this season.
