Top of the first inning contained no drama. The Chicago Cubs went down in order. The Dodgers’ starting pitcher Rich Hill got one curveball over for a strike, and no batter chased. Hill did get a strikeout off of Kris Bryant, who let a 94 MPH fastball go without a swing.
Arrieta just missed the edges of the plate. He did allow a hit to left field to Corey Seager, but no runs. It was interesting to see Seager not take a large lead and get in Arrieta’s head.
