9/13 Cubs(Mills) @Brewers(Houser) 1:10 MSN

that's what it takes to throw a no-hitter for a Mills.

 

I watched the majority of the game - dozed a bit in the middle innings - but I don't remember a single ball that I thought - oh my god that's going to be a hit. Were there any great defensive plays? I don't remember any. The closest to a hit - I think - was when Javy waited back on ball hit by Garcia and then just nipped him at 1st. Mills certainly wasn't dominating in the traditional sense it just seemed like everything was a routine fly ball or a 2 hopper to an infielder.

 

There was one hit to Happ that he had to get a good break on to catch 5 feet short of the warning track in...I want to say the 4th

Yeah, watched the highlights this morning and that was the only ball they showed that wasn't a routine play - and it was a nice play but not unbelievable. I'm surprised there were 10 other "hard hit" balls. Good for him.

just a couple borderline highlight-reel plays seems like but quite a few 'nice' plays maybe, or at least fortunate fielder placements/good scouting
