Feat Night in Chicago?

The Cubs lead the Pirates 9-0 after five innings. Starting pitcher Shota Imanaga is throwing a no hitter, while batters Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong are each a triple short of the cycle.

Update: Isaac Paredes makes two errors in the sixth inning, but Imanaga keeps the no-hitter intact. He’s thrown 84 pitches.

Update: Imanaga gets the Pirates in order in the seventh. The Cubs now lead 11-0. Swanson did not get a triple in his last AB to end the sixth. PCA gets a chance next.

Update: PCA misses the triple by inches as a ball down the rightfield line lands just foul. Imanaga does not come out for the eighth inning. Nate Pearson is now pitching.

Update: Pearson retires the side in the eighth. The Cubs need three more outs for a combined no-hitter.
