The Cubs altered the trajectory of their franchise with the trade that sent Scott Feldman to Baltimore in exchange for Jake Arrieta back in 2013.
Arrieta won a Cy Young Award in 2015 and threw a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds last season en route to earning a World Series ring with the Cubs. Feldman just barely kept his ERA under 4.00 in each of last three seasons.
But Friday night in Cincinnati, it was Feldman who turned in a dominant performance against his former team during a season where Arrieta is still struggling to perform on a consistent basis.
