Hardly anyone expected a no hitter to be pitched in 2020. Odds were strongly against TWO no hitters. What if both were from teams in the same city? One of the most unlikely candidates for the Chicago Cubs defied odds. Alec Mills eased his way through 9 innings against the Milwaukee Brewers with no batted ball in play that resulted in a baserunner. In other words, a no hitter. The soft tossing Mills drew contact but nothing that was able to land safely. The 28 year-old only struck out 5 while having well more than that hard hit balls. Sprinkle in 3 walks, no runners due to error, and it seemed way too easy. Mills had only started 15 games with but 5 career wins. But his sixth will be memorable for sure. And earns him the Sportsman of the Week!
