************************************************
CHICAGO -- The archives might not record it as such, but the Giants had a no-hitter pitched against them Thursday afternoon. It simply was obscured by a few other events.
Still, any club that can't muster a hit through nine innings typically should lose. So maybe the Giants deserved their fate: an excruciating 5-2 defeat, which they absorbed when pinch-hitter Geovany Soto's three-run homer culminated the Chicago Cubs' four-run rally in the 13th inning.
Read the rest here.
