Final: Phillies 5, Cubs 0
WP: Cole Hamels (6-7, 3.64 ERA) LP: Jake Arrieta (11-6, 2.61 ERA)
Chicago, IL – With his name at the epicenter of trade discussion, as the non-waiver trade deadline is less than a week away, Phillies left-handed ace Cole Hamels made history before a crowd of 41,683 at Wrigley Field.
On 129 pitches, 83 of which were strikes, Hamels tossed the 13th no-hitter in franchise history.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| Phillies | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 5 | 11 | 0 |
| Cubs | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
In the process, catcher Carlos Ruiz caught his fourth-career no-no. This ties him with Red Sox legend Jason Varitek for most in major league baseball history.
Last no-hitter vs. Cubs, Sandy Koufax, 1965. Last no-hitter at Wrigley, Milt Pappas, 1972.
