NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Somewhere between Pittsburgh and Chicago, Jake Arrieta lost his unhittable aura.
He didn’t find it in New York, that’s for sure.
Arrieta gave up base hits to his first three batters — including Daniel Murphy’s latest postseason homer — and the Chicago Cubs were unable to recover Sunday night in a 4-1 loss to the New York Mets that left them down 2-0 in the NL Championship Series.
“I put us in a pretty big hole there at the start, one that was a little too hard to overcome,” Arrieta said.
