Zambrano throws first no-hitter for Cubs in 36 years

"Zambrano became the first Cub to throw a no-hitter since Milt Pappas on Sept. 2, 1972, turning up the volume on his fastball and dominating from start to finish in a remarkable 110-pitch outing. He struck out a season-high 10 and walked one. Only two balls left the infield all night, and there were no close calls or spectacular plays needed to save him. "Pretty exciting stuff," manager Lou Piniella said. "Just a great game by Carlos. He had that good fastball from the first pitch all the way till the end, mixed in some sliders, split-fingers, and beat a team that's really been hot."
