Jake Arrieta tossed the second no-hitter of his career and the 15th in Chicago Cubs history in a 16-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at the Major League Baseball games on Thursday.
Arrieta got Eugenio Suarez to fly out to right fielder Jason Heyward for the final out, and the celebration was on around the mound. Arrieta, who threw a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 30 last season, was greeted with hugs, high-fives and a Gatorade shower before exiting the field. Thursday’s result was never in doubt as Kris Bryant hit two of five Cubs home runs, including a grand slam. Bryant tied a career high with six RBIs.
