Darvish dominates Brewers

 Yu Darvish took a no-hitter into the seventh in an excellent outing against the MIlwaukee Brewers helping the Cubs improve their record to 13-3.

Darvish threw seven innings of one run and one hit ball, he struck out a season high 11 while walking two.The only hit he allowed was a solo home run off the bat of Justin Smoak.

The Cubs got going fast as Nico Hoerner hit the first pitch of the game for a double and then scored on back to back ground outs by Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez.

Kyle Schwarber would lead off the second inning with his third home run of the season. Despite a career worst .212 ISO Schwarber has been hitting the ball at the hardest rate of his career with a 94.2 MPH average exit velocity going into tonights game which ranks 10th in all of baseball (and third on his own team!)

Ian Happ would add on in the sixth with an RBI double that scored Willson Contreras from first and then David Bote would make it 4-0 with a single to left.

Casey Sadler would get the eighth and would give up a hit, but no runs. He got off to a bit of a rocky start, but has been good in three and a third August innings so far.

Rowan Wick would get the ninth and after getting two quick outs gave up a single and then an RBI double to Smoak, but would get Omar Narvaez to fly out and secured the 4-2 victory and earned his third save of the season.

The Cubs continue the series tomorrow at 7:15 as Tyler Chatwood looks to bounce back from his rough outing against the Royals. Brandon Woodruff will take the mound for the Brewers.
