It was only fitting that Jake Arrieta was on the mound for the Cubs as they beat the Indians 4-3 Thursday afternoon, which is a very familiar tally for some reason. The starter was one of the few regulars who made the trip to Goodyear, but the Cubs managed to eke out just enough offense to make his effort stand up.
David Bote may have to issue an apology to the family of the baseball he vaporized and Jake Marisnick furthered his case for more playing time with a dinger of his own.
