For Arrieta, who is now 4-0, 0.87 in four starts this year, it is his second career no-hitter.

On April 21, 2016 — At Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park. Jake Arrieta throws the first no-hitter of the year in the major leagues as the Cubs defeat the Reds, 16 – 0. It is the highest-scoring no-hitter since Pud Galvin won one by a score of 18 – 0 back on August 4, 1884. Kris Bryant homers twice, including a grand slam, to lead the offense.

For Arrieta, who is now 4-0, 0.87 in four starts this year, the Chicago right-handed ace becomes only the second pitcher, joining Johnny Vander Meer, who threw consecutive no-hitters in 1938, ever to go unbeaten between no-hit games, having not recorded a loss in his last 17 regular-season starts since he threw a no-no against the Dodgers last season.
