The Magnificent 7: My Favorite Jake Arrieta Games

Jake Arrieta can throw the baseballs and he can throw them well. So well, in fact, that he has gone an entire game without giving up a hit not once, but twice. That second time, as you might have heard, was Thursday night. Now, sure, no-hitters require a great degree of luck and the BABIP gods need to be seriously in your favor, but that doesn’t make the feat any less impressive. To do it twice in a span of 24 starts is nearly unheard of. Unless you’re Johnny Vander Meer, it which case it’s quite heard of (watch out Brewers).
