The impossible (nay, improbable) happened yesterday, as mighty Jake Arrieta finally lost a game. But the Cubs are still good at baseball, and they had a chance to win in their final at-bat as per usual. I did see a fun tweet about the long Cubs win streak in Arrieta starts, though:

23 straight starts with Cubs wins, that’s crazy!
