Leake flashing no-hit stuff in dominant June

Leake retired the first 13 batters he faced before walking Marcell Ozuna in the fifth inning to end his perfect start. The following inning, Christian Yelich singled to left field to break up the right-hander's no-hit bid at 5 2/3 innings.

Leake finished the evening with seven scoreless innings, surrendering only two hits, three walks and one hit by pitch. He also recorded seven strikeouts.

"Just aggressive attacking," Leake said. "Trying to keep the ball in the bottom of the zone, and I'm sure jet lag played a little part for them, but I felt like I was throwing the ball pretty good.
