In a historic game on Friday night, three Chicago Cubs pitchers, Shun Yamaguchi, Nate Pearson, and Dakota Mekkes, combined to throw a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers. This impressive feat marked the first time in Cubs history that three pitchers had combined for a no-hitter.

The game got off to a strong start with Yamaguchi on the mound, who pitched four scoreless innings and struck out six batters. Pearson then took over in the fifth inning and continued the dominant pitching, striking out five batters in three innings of work. Mekkes came in to close out the game in the ninth inning, striking out two batters and securing the no-hitter for the Cubs.

The Cubs’ defense also played a crucial role in the no-hitter, making several key plays to preserve the historic moment. The outfielders made several spectacular catches, while the infielders made quick and accurate throws to keep the Brewers off the bases.

After the game, Cubs manager David Ross praised the performance of his pitchers and the team’s overall effort. “It was a total team effort tonight,” Ross said. “The pitchers were outstanding, and the defense made some incredible plays to help secure the no-hitter.”

The Cubs’ no-hitter was a special moment for the team and their fans, who have been eagerly awaiting a standout performance from their pitching staff. With this impressive display of talent and teamwork, the Cubs are poised to make a strong push for the playoffs as they continue their quest for a World Series title.
