Cubs were better, and hit rapid-clip
It was wet, but their mitts didn’t slip
Their defense was proficient
Jake intense and omniscient
Arrieta no sweat, Cincy ZIP.

Cubs 16, Cincinnati 0
This marked the first time a team scored at least 16 runs and no-hit the opponent since the Buffalo Bisons’ Pud Galvin beat the Detroit Wolverines 18-0 on Aug. 4, 1884.
SWEET!
