No Hitter Boxscore

Lefty Sean Marshall's(2-0, 4.22) impressive outing on Tuesday night (2 hits over 7 innings) brought up the memory of another Cub lefty. 37 summers ago in 1969 Ken Holtzman tossed the first of two no-hitters in his career. This one came on a day where Holtzman took full advantage of a favorable Wrigley Field wind.(Many claim the ball that Henry Aaron hit in the seventh that Billy Williams caught in the well was actually out over Waveland Avenue and blown back into the ballpark by the "pitchers wind".) Here's Ken Holtzman's no-hitter from August 19, 1969:

Chicago Cubs 3, Atlanta Braves 0
