• With their latest effort, the Cardinals' team ERA now stands at 2.67. The mark would be the 12th lowest for any team in the live-ball era. It is also the lowest since the 1981 Astros posted a 2.61 ERA.
• Jake Arrieta worked six innings of four-hit, one-run ball and picked up his 16th win in the Cubs' 8-5 victory over the Giants. He also collected a double, which was one more extra-base hit than he allowed. Arrieta is one of 67 pitchers with at least 50 starts since the beginning of the 2014 season.
