The National League Cy Young conversation has largely been limited to teammates Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw since the All-Star break, but Jake Arrieta's no-hitter on Sunday night may help him earn consideration.

Arrieta went 6-0 with a 0.43 ERA and allowed just 19 hits in 42⅓ innings pitched in August.

The Chicago Cubs starter has a higher ERA than Greinke's 1.61 at 2.11, but rates better than Kershaw (2.24) entering Monday's action. Wins and losses have been dismissed by many in favor of newer statistics, but Arrieta leads all of baseball with 17 wins.

Jake Arrieta pitched his first career no-hitter, the second no-hitter against the Dodgers in 10 days, leading the Cubs to a 2-0 win Sunday night, according to an ESPN.com report.

Arrieta was lights-out on the mound, striking out a season-high 12. 

It was a day of mixed emotions for Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre. With Sunday's start, Beltre became the all-time leader in games played among Dominicans. He celebrated by getting ejected from the contest.

The 36-year-old Beltre has now played in 2,528 games in the majors. He passed Julio Franco, who played in 2,527 games over his 23-year career.

Mike Fiers pitched the second no-hitter in the major leagues in nine days, leading the Astros to a 3-0 victory over the Dodgers on Friday night, according to an ESPN.com report.

Having never even gotten an out in the ninth inning in his five-year career, Fiers was dominant. He struck out 10 and walked three, retiring the final 21 batters.
