It appears from the pitch velocity chart that it trends downward ever so slightly as the pitch count went up. I, like you, am cautiously optimistic that there are no long term effects from the no-hitter, and in this case I am also thinking this was a relatively low stress outing given the Cubs had a nice 6-0 lead after the top of the 4th.
