PITTSBURGH – We’ll get to some good news in a few moments but there is so much bad going on with the Chicago Cubs right now it’s hard to know where to start.
How about with Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta who thought he made strides on Friday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a team he’s dominated over the past two years. His manager and catcher thought the same as well. Of course his final stat line might say something different: 6-plus innings, nine hits, one walk, 6 earned runs. His night included two home runs early in the game.
