Kyle Hendricks took a no-hitter two outs into the eighth inning, Christopher Morel drove in three runs with a home run and a single, and the Chicago Cubs made it two straight over the host San Francisco Giants with a 4-0 triumph Saturday afternoon.
Hendricks was trying to become the first Cub to throw a no-hitter since a four-man combined effort on June 24, 2021. Hendricks had allowed just one baserunner -- a Michael Conforto walk with one out in the second inning -- before Mitch Haniger lashed a double off the left-field fence on a full count with the right-hander just four outs away from history.
The 2021 Cubs no-hitter was thrown by Zach Davies, Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin and Craig Kimbrel in a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The last Cub to throw a solo no-hitter was Alec Mills against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sept. 13, 2020. Morel did the rest of the Cubs' offensive damage, beginning when he led off the fourth against Junis with his 10th homer of the season to make it 2-0.
