Cubs' Mills through 6 hitless innings vs Brewers
Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 4 years, 4 months AGO
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Chicago Cubs pitcher Alec Mills has completed six hitless innings against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Mills has walked two Sunday and hasn't let a runner past first base. He's struck out four and thrown 72 pitches.
The 28-year-old right-hander has been rounding into form for Chicago. He pitched six shutout innings in his previous start Tuesday against Cincinnati. He entered Sunday 4-3 with a 4.74 ERA this season.
The Cubs led 9-0 after scoring five unearned runs in the fourth. Neither team had a hit through three innings.
Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano has thrown the only no-hitter at Miller Park, against the Houston Astros on Sept. 14, 2008. The Cubs played the Astros in Milwaukee because of damage in the Houston area from Hurricane Ike.
Chicago's last no-hitter was thrown by Jake Arrieta on April 21, 2016 against the Reds.

For South Sudan mothers, COVID-19 shook a fragile foundation
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — Paska Itwari Beda knows hunger all too well. The young mother of five children — all of them under age 10 — sometimes survives on one bowl of porridge a day, and her entire family is lucky to scrape together a single daily meal, even with much of the money Beda makes cleaning offices going toward food. She goes to bed hungry in hopes her children won’t have to work or beg like many others in South Sudan, a country only a decade old and already ripped apart by civil war.
