LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs has a no-hitter going against the Los Angeles Dodgers through six innings.

The Cubs lead 2-0 Sunday night.

The Dodgers’ first baserunner came in the third inning, when Kike Hernandez reached on a fielding error by second baseman Starlin Castro. Hernandez was sacrificed to second before Arrieta struck out Jimmy Rollins to end the inning.

Arrieta has seven strikeouts and one walk.

The right-hander is trying to become the first 17-game winner in the major leagues this season. He is 5-0 with a 0.54 ERA this month.

Arrieta threw a one-hit shutout against Cincinnati last Sept. 16 at Wrigley Feld.
