For a while Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field, it appeared the Chicago Cubs might be no-hit for the first time since Cole Hamels did it to them in July 2015.
The @CubsNHS_Bot Twitter account has been faithfully counting up all the games since then, 899 regular-season Cubs games entering Saturday’s contest.
Kris Bubic of the Royals no-hit the Cubs, allowing just one walk, through six innings, but a rain delay might have thrown him off his rhythm and the no-no was broken up in the seventh, the 900th straight game the Cubs have had at least one hit since Hamels’ no-no.
