Marcus Stroman carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning of Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and although he did lose that bid, he was able to finish off a complete game one-hitter in a 1-0 victory for the Chicago Cubs.
Stroman struck out eight batters and allowed a total of three base runners in the game, with one runner apiece reaching via walk, hit-by-pitch and a slicing single hit by Wander Franco in the seventh inning that ended the no-hitter.

The Cubs did have a chance to score in the bottom of the second inning, but Dansby Swanson was stranded at second base when Tucker Barnhart popped out to shortstop. The fourth inning is where the Cubs finally struck, as Seiya Suzuki reached on an infield single. He also advanced to second on a throwing error on the play, and that proved useful as he then advanced to third on a flyout by Swanson.
