CINCINNATI  – Former TCU star Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs pitched his second no-hitter in a span of 11 regular-season starts, shutting down the Cincinnati Reds in a 16-0 rout Thursday night.

The reigning NL Cy Young winner threw the first no-hitter of the Major League Baseball season.

Arrieta (4-0) struck out six, walked four and allowed only six balls hit out of the infield. He threw 119 pitches, retiring Eugenio Suarez on a routine fly ball to right field to end it.

“It feels different the second time,” said Arrieta, who did his best pitching in the last few innings with the no-hitter in reach. “I was a little more relaxed as the game progressed.”
