Cole Hamels has a _______ through seven.

FYI

 

Phillies with a 5-0 lead going into the bottom of the 9th. Cole Hamels still hasn't allowed a hit.

 

Addison Russell weakly grounds out to third. One dead.

 

Dexter Fowler Ks on a called strike three. Pitch count at 123. Two dead.

 

On the 129th pitch, Kris Bryant flies out to CF. No-hitter for Cole Hamels!

 

1st no-hitter at Wrigley Field since 1972 when Milt Pappas lost a perfect game on a walk with two out in the 9th.

 

Hell of a catch by Herrera in the eighth to preserve it, and then he almost lost it for Hamels in the ninth when he stumbled on the track.

 

What was with that catch at the end?

 

Last no-hitter thrown against the Cubs was Sandy Koufax perfect game at Dodger Stadium in 1965.

 

I guess he over-ran it ...

 

Per Sportscenter, the wind at Wrigley was bad today, and that's why he almost overran it.

 

Thus ends one of the best Twitter accounts going.
