The Cubs pitched really well Tuesday night... most of the time.
Jake Arrieta and two Cubs relievers threw eight innings and gave up only two hits and a walk Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field.
Unfortunately, games aren't eight innings long and in the other inning -- the top of the fourth -- Arrieta got hit hard and allowed five hits and three runs and that turned out to be the difference in the Cubs' 3-2 loss to the Reds.
It was inexplicable. Arrieta had breezed through the Reds' lineup the first time around, retiring all nine hitters with two strikeouts and just two balls hit out of the infield.
