"Edward Cabrera took a no-hitter into the 6th inning of his scoreless start, and Shota Imanaga allowed just that one run over his 5.0 innings, crucially with no homers."
"Cabrera did have some periods where he was struggling with his control, and most days when you walk 5 through 5.2 innings, you're gonna be in some trouble."
"Just three batted balls exceeded 100 mph off the bat, and two of those were on the ground. He had seven batted balls with an expected batting average of .130 or lower."
"Edward Cabrera's 2 hits allowed are the fewest by a Cubs pitcher through his first 2 appearances with the team since 1901 (minimum: 10 IP)."
Cubs' starting pitchers Edward Cabrera and Shota Imanaga had strong performances in a double-header, with Cabrera taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Imanaga allowed only one run over five innings. Both pitchers are crucial to the rotation, especially after Cade Horton's injury. Cabrera struggled with control, walking five batters, but limited hard contact. Imanaga's whiff rate was low, but he also induced weak contact. Cabrera's two hits allowed are the fewest by a Cubs pitcher in his first two appearances since 1901.
