Braves offense comes up short again in 4-1 loss to Cubs

The Atlanta Braves fall failed to muster any offense again in a 4-1 loss to Jake Arietta and the Chicago Cubs Sunday evening at Turner Field.

For the second straight night, the Atlanta Braves were powerless against the Chicago Cubs' pitching in a 4-1 loss at Turner Field.

Jake Arrieta picked up where Jon Lester left off on Saturday tossing seven shutout innings for the Cubs to earn his 11th win of the season. Arrieta didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning when A.J. Pierzynski doubled to right center.
