For the THIRD TIME this season, a Chicago Cubs affiliate has thrown a no-hitter! And two of those three now belong to the Double-A Tennessee Smokies!
The Smokies just finished up their second no-hitter of the season on the strength of 5.0 Anderson Espinoza innings, 2.0 Samuel Reyes innings, and an inning each from Bryan King and Nicholas Padilla!

What a night for Espinoza, in particular, especially when you consider all that he’s coming back from:
5 hitless innings for Anderson Espinoza tonight. 7 Ks, 1 BB, 72 pitches. Easily his best start of the year. pic.twitter.com/0MSaFokBvI
