Mark Holliman, the Cubs' 2005 3rd round draft pick, threw a 7-inning no-hitter for double-A Tennessee last night, in the Smokies' 3-0 victory over Huntsville. Holliman had not won a game in more than a month, reports the Knoxville News Sentinel. Holliman also hit a two-run homer in the game.

Holliman, 23, now has a 2.49 ERA, which leads the Southern League, in 86.2 innings this season, with a 2.0 K/BB ratio. He has allowed just 3 home runs. In his first professional season last year, Holliman had a 4.38 ERA in 144 innings for high-A Daytona.
