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.

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