The Venezuela native made his Major League debut with the Cubs as a 20-year-old in 2001 and was part of three National League Central champion teams in 2003, 2007, and 2008. Zambrano is perhaps most remembered for the first neutral site no-hitter in MLB history, as in 2008, he no-hit the Houston Astros at then Miller Park in Milwaukee. The game was moved from Houston to Milwaukee because of damage in Texas from Hurricane Ike. It was the first Chicago Cubs no-hitter since Milt Pappas hurled one in 1972. After his time in Chicago finished in 2011, he pitched one season with the Miami Marlins in 2012. Zambrano wrapped up his Big League career with 132 wins, 1637 strikeouts, and three MLB All Star Game nominations.
