CHICAGO — It wasn't quite a masterpiece, but the Chicago Cubs kept their incredible run going Saturday night.
Jake Arrieta pitched into the seventh inning and the Cubs won their ninth straight to match their longest streak in seven seasons, beating the crosstown White Sox 6-3 Saturday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
"This was more paint by numbers, Dick Tracy, maybe a little glitter," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "Remember those? You'd paint it up, you'd struggle, maybe a little glue and then the glitter comes on top. Your mom really loved that on the carpeting."
The big picture has developed quite nicely for the Cubs.
