After a “just okay” kind of performance in New York, Jake Arrieta took the mound for his second start of the 2020 season against the Atlanta Braves, a team in which he has a career 3.27 ERA against.
Arrieta bolstered those numbers in the early going looking like the pitcher we thought we were getting back in 2018. He began the game with four scoreless innings and picking up six strikeouts along the way. But prized pitching prospect Kyle Wright of the Braves matched Arrieta pitch for pitch ... until the bottom of the fourth that is.
