Jake Arrieta Breaks Record for Lowest ERA in 2nd Half of Season in MLB History

To say that Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta had a good second half to his season would be an understatement—a big one.

In his last start of the regular season Friday night, the Cubs ace delivered six innings of two-hit, shutout baseball and seven strikeouts against the Milwaukee Brewers. Another dominating performance brought his second-half ERA to a minuscule 0.75, the lowest in baseball history, according to statistician Ryan M. Spaeder.

Arrieta also tallied off another quality start, as the Cubs pointed out on Twitter:

TWENTY consecutive quality starts for @JArrieta34.
