It was pretty close to a storybook ending. Striking out the side would have been the best way to end it, but a slow groundout works just fine too. The Chicago Cubs Jake Arrieta allowed just three hits while completing his fourth game of the year–his third shutout–in winning his 20th game of the season. Kris Bryant set the rookie home record with his 26th as the Cubs topped the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0 to drop the Magic Number to three.
Arrieta (20-6, 1.88) continues to make his case for the NL Cy Young by winning his 20th game and also lowering his ERA to 1.
