Cade Horton Extends MLB's Longest Scoreless Streak to 29 Innings for Cubs

Chicago Cubs rookie right-hander Cade Horton delivered a dominant performance on Wednesday, extending his MLB-leading scoreless innings streak to 29 consecutive innings before yielding a run in the sixth. The 23-year-old, a former top prospect who debuted three months ago, pitched five no-hit innings with a season-high eight strikeouts against the Blue Jays. Since the All-Star break, Horton has maintained an impressive 0.32 ERA across five starts, solidifying his crucial role in the Cubs' rotation.
