The last time Jake Arrieta allowed as many as three earned runs in a start was all the way back on July 25 - 15 starts before this afternoon at Chase Field. So, I guess we should count the home-runs by Paul Goldschmidt and Socrates Brito, as well as the RBI single from Jake Lamb as a success. Particularly, as they pulled us back from a three-run deficit to briefly give us hope that the Diamondbacks would manage to do something else which hadn't happened in an equal long time - the Cubs losing an Arrieta start.
Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 7
