What are the most recent no-hitters in Chicago Cubs history?

Shota Imanaga sets the tone in a combined no-no at Wrigley Field

Shota Imanaga had it all working on Sept. 4, 2024 - well, almost everything. Third baseman Isaac Paredes turned in a horrendous defensive effort at third, making three errors, and driving up Imanaga's pitch count, which eventually led to Craig Counsell pulling him after seven no-hit innings.

From there, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge slammed the door, completing the no-hit bid - the second such effort in franchise history and the 18th no-hitter. It marked the first time the Cubs accomplished the feat at Wrigley Field since Milt Pappas made history back in 1972. It's somewhat shocking to look back and realize that every Cubs no-no on this list apart from this one came on the road.

For Imanaga, it was just the cherry on top of a dazzling rookie season. Despite the team's inconsistent, up-and-down play, the Japanese-born left-hander epitomized consistency, delivering quality start after quality start and giving the team a chance to win every five days.
