Phillies starter Cole Hamels threw the 13th no-hitter in team history and the first of his career Saturday, blanking the Cubs in a 5-0 victory at Wrigley Field.
Hamels, who has been subject to major trade deadline speculation, bolstered his credentials in what could be his last start with the Phillies with an impressive performance in which he struck out 13 batters.
Hamels threw 129 pitches and was relatively calm when the last hitter of the game, Kris Bryant, flew to deep center field, high-fiving with catcher Carlos Ruiz before his teammates mobbed him.
Hamels (6-7) ended a four-game losing streak with the no-hitter.
