horsefeathers Yeah!! Nice effort by the pitching.

Wasn’t a must win, but it was a “really horsefeathers nice to have” game

[s2obed]

Love the 1-0 win. Let’s win the series!

[Tim]

It is sooooo nice having a closer that throws a horsefeathers ton of strikes.

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was a must win game for me as far as the division goes and Steele was absolutely awesome. I was nervous they were gonna give it away but each pitcher locked it down. Great win.

The 100 win dream stays alive one more day.

[PackLandVA]

Dodgers up 4-0 over AZ in the bottom of the 2nd.  Kershaw on the mound.

Giants up 5-0 over Cincy in the bottom of the 4th. Alex Cobb going for SF.

[Old Style]

Wins are good. Go Cobs. 

[PackLandVA]

Alex Cobb is throwing a no-hitter thru 8 innings. Reds down 5-0.

Dodgers up 7-1 over DBacks in bottom of 5th.

Florida lost earlier this evening.

Cubs pick up full game on FLA, and possibly CIN and AZ.

Lol they seriously let Cobb throw 131 pitches?  I mean they let him stay in and through another 6 pitches even after the no hitter and shutout were over

Fortunately, Cobb has historically been extremely durable and has rarely missed time to injury in his career. I think he's only had 4 injuries in the last year.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Reds are now 3 back of the Cubs and face Logan Webb tomorrow, if they lose 3 of 4 over the weekend that might be a knockout blow, at least in terms of catching the Cubs.

Ugh Nico's had some big situations tonight, hasnt been able to convert. 2-0 count ends with a foul pop up to 1B

In fairness he absolutely CRUSHED that ball to 3rd that he got doubled up on.

1-0 win is the best

That was apparently 71.9 off the bat. That was a pitch that should have been hit in the air to RF. The pitch was a bit of a hanger and didn't catch the shadow of the zone. Nico just didn't get under it enough.

Wow, sure seemed a lot harder than that in real time.

That was the Cubs 11th shutout of the season, but the first since July 7 against the Yankees.
