IT IS A YEAR FOR CHICAGO NO HITTERS

Lucas Giolito of the White Sox threw the first no hitter of this strange 2020 season. Now Alec Mills threw the first Cubs no hitter since Jake Arrieta did the trick in 2016. The 12-0 blow out of Milwaukee did not have much drama in terms of the final score, but the tension was high for the hit column to stay at zero. It was not perfect, but the job was done.

Now to update the list.
