Pittsburgh (AFP) - Jake Arrieta struck out 11 in a four-hit shutout as the Chicago Cubs advanced to the NL Division series by beating Pittsburgh 4-0 in a winner-take-all wild-card contest Wednesday.
The Cubs have now won 14 straight Major League Baseball games started by Arrieta, who also tied Kerry Woods' franchise record for most strikeouts in a playoff game.
"It was one game do-or-die and one of us had to go and that's how it ended," Arrieta said.
