And the second of the season against the Mets, though this time it was by someone you wouldn't be surprised to see such a game from.

No hits, no walks. Only baserunner was on throwing error in 6th inning by Yunel Escobar.

Guessing Escobar feels lousy about that.

Marte with a 1 out HBP in the 9th against Chapman.  Morse up.

Morse Ks.  2 outs.

Cervelli is the last hope for the Pirates.

Reds win! 

Playing for home field advantage tomorrow.  Too bad the Cubs couldn't pull out one more against the Pirates this year.

Good thing the Pirates didn't pull out one more against us.  Or against anybody.

I don't mind playing that game on the road at all.

Forget games against the Pirates. Cubs don't blow the two games to the Cardinals they'd have second sewn up and be one back of St. Louis in the loss column.

Another great start for Grienke. Think he needed a very poor one. Somehow, Arrieta's probably not going to win the Cy Young or make the All-Star team.

If he ends up with a ring, neither of those will bother him.

So, Scherzer strikes out 17 Mets in his no-hitter today.

But, amazingly, Nats struck out 18 times.

New all-time K record of 35 Ks in 9-inning game for two teams.

Further, was part of a doubleheader--- 59 combined Ks in doubleheader today, also a record.

Who should Astros and their fans root for in Sunday's Rangers/Angels game?

Astros are game behind Rangers for the division and game ahead of Angels for second wild card.

Of course, if Astros can win, root for Angels to beat Rangers. Tie for first.

But, if Astros lose, Angels beating Rangers forces Astros into tiebreaker game with Angels for second wild card.

Games start at same time.

Disagree.  Voters tend to favor wins when all else is equal.  They shouldn't, but they do. 

Combine the wins with Arrieta's historic 2nd half and the no-hitter, and I think he'll take it home.

Well, it's only one example, but they gave it to Felix Hernandez in a year he went 13-12.
