What a weekend for the Chicago Cubs …
The Cubs clinched a spot in the post-season tournament late Friday night after the Giants lost in Oakland. And the Cubs celebrated the trip to the playoffs following Saturday’s game. The Cubs bounced back from two rough losses against the Pirates with a win Sunday night behind Jake Arrieta.
Jake Arrieta simply dominated a very good Pirates lineup. Arrieta took a perfect game into the seventh that was broken up by a clean single. Arrieta was out after seven innings of one-hit ball and he hit his second home run of the season.
