[ed. note - “We wrote this up before the drama with Stephen Strasburg started today, but as you’ll note below, Stras is starting for the Washington Nationals in Game 4 of the NLDS this afternoon.”]
Chicago Cubs’ starter Jake Arrieta gave up six hits, a season-high six walks, and six runs, five earned, when he faced the Washington Nationals earlier this season in a 6-1 loss in the nation’s capital. He knows the team he’s going up against this afternoon in Game 4 of the NLDS in Wrigley Field.
