Cubs have combined no-hitter through 8 innings vs Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Chicago Cubs are working on a combined no-hitter through eight innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Zach Davies issued five walks and used 94 pitches to get through the first six innings, but still managed to keep the defending World Series champions without a hit in the 16th start of his first season with the Cubs. Ryan Tepera pitched the seventh, and Andrew Chafin got a double play to end the eighth. The Cubs were trying to throw the majors’ seventh no-hitter of the season, which would match four other years for the most in a single season since 1900.
