Jake Arrieta isn't quite making history the way he did in the second half of 2015, but the Cubs pitcher has been on another incredible roll.
Major League Baseball awarded Arrieta the National League Pitcher of the Month honor Sunday morning after he went 4-1 with a 1.21 ERA in six August starts, striking out 37 batters in 37.1 innings.
Arrieta had a superhuman stretch in the second half of 2015, setting an MLB record with an 0.75 ERA as he went 12-1 and only allowed 78 baserunners in 107.1 innings to key the Cubs' surge into the playoffs.
