The REAL deal - Phillies 5, Cubs 4

Well, that was scary for a minute.

Jake Arrieta began on the bump for the Phils tonight, and looked impressive to start the night, setting down Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant, and Anthony Rizzo with zero trouble.

Fast forward to the 3rd, where Arrieta had a bit more trouble with those same three hitters to begin the frame, though, as Schwarber hit a leadoff triple, and was then driven in by a single from Anthony Rizzo.

Both offenses went quiet in the subsequent frames, but the Phillies’ lit up later on in the 6th inning.
