• Cubs 12, Pirates 0: Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge combine on a no-hitter

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images It’s the first no-hitter thrown by the Cubs at Wrigley Field in over half a century. You know, the Cubs might not make the postseason this year — and despite this 12-0 win over the Pirates they didn’t gain any ground on the Mets and Braves — but we will all have one wonderful, indelible memory to share all winter after Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Port...2024

It was a lot of fun, but it was always a quest in search of a miracle. More than anything, it was a front-loaded schedule with the Cubs playing the hardest parts of its schedule first. Off the top of my hea...2024

• Pirates 5, Cubs 0: The offense vanishes yet again

Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images Kyle Hendricks threw well enough, but Cubs batters did nothing. This game was likely going to be an uphill climb no matter how well Kyle Hendricks threw against the Pirates, what with Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes on the mound. Hendricks put together a credible start, allowing five hits and two runs in five innings, with five strikeouts. Really, you can’t ...2024

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Despite a great start from Jameson Taillon, the Cubs’ six-game winning streak came to an end. Let’s get this out of the way first thing.

And yet, the Cubs, playing their best baseball of the year, did it at exactly the time they needed to, completing a three-game sweep of the Nationals with a convincing 14-1 win.
