Kyle Hendricks didn't allow a hit until Mitch Haniger doubled with two outs in the eighth inning, pitching the Chicago Cubs over the San Francisco Giants 4-0 Saturday.
Hendricks faced one batter over the minimum, walking Michael Conforto with one out in the second, and had retired 19 batters in a row before Haniger hit a fastball 378 feet off the left-field wall on the eighth pitch of the at-bat. That ended the longest no-hit bid in the major leagues this season.Julian Merryweather retired three straight batters in the ninth, completing the one-hitter and giving the Cubs consecutive wins for the first time since May 29 and 30.
The 33-year-old right-hander, in the 10th season of a big league career spent entirely with the Cubs, has six complete games and four shutouts in 226 starts. Center fielder Mike Tauchman helped by making a diving, backhand catch to rob Brandon Crawford of an extra-base hit near the warning track in the third.
Morel homered off Jakob Junis leading off the third. The ball bounced off the top of the brick wall and back onto the field. Unaware of the ruling, Morel raced around the bases until second base umpire and crew chief Brian O'Nora signaled home run.Giants opener John Brebbia, who also started Tuesday's win over Colorado, pitched two hitless innings with one strikeout. Brebbia also survived getting hit by a 104.9 mph line drive off the bat of Ian Happ in the second.
