You know, the Cubs might not make the postseason this year — and despite this 12-0 win over the Pirates they didn’t gain any ground on the Mets and Braves — but we will all have one wonderful, indelible memory to share all winter after Shu014dta Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge combined on a no-hitter. It’s the first no-hitter by a Cub at Wrigley Field in 52 years and two days, since Milt Pappas no-hit the Padres 8-0 on Sept. 2, 1972. More on that from BCB’s JohnW53:
Wednesday’s game was their 4,113th at Wrigley Field since then.
