There had been five no-hitters in Major League Baseball this season. On Sunday, Jake Arrieta made it six.

The 29-year-old Arrieta went the distance, allowing just one walk while striking out 12 (including all three batters he faced in the ninth inning), as the Cubs won 2-0 on Sunday Night Baseball.

Arrieta picked up his major league-leading 17th victory of 2015 and became the first Cubs pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Carlos Zambrano on September 14, 2008 versus the Astros. It was Arrieta’s first career no-hitter. For the season, Arrieta has pitched to a 2.11 ERA and has recorded 190 strikeouts over 183 innings.

After the game, Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis congratulated Arrieta on his dominant outing.
