  5. Six of those 46 Cubs road wins have come in Pittsburgh (of 10 games there).

  6. Jake on CY: “When season’s over, we’ll think about that a little bit more, but Wednesday is the most important thing for everybody here.”

  7. Maddon on Jake/CY: “If that did not clinch his award, I don’t know what would. Just dominating. That should put the icing on the cake.”

    Jake Arrieta lowers his ERA to 0.41 since August, the lowest ERA since ERA became an official stat. Via

  10. In 12 starts since start of August, Arrieta allowed no earned runs in nine of them. 0.75 post-break ERA is a major-league record (15 GS)

  11. Arrieta indeed done after 72p, 6 IP. 7Ks. No walks. Only two to reach were on singles leading off first and with two out in fourth.

  12. Assuming that's it for Arrieta in final start before wild-card game, he'd finish with 229 IP, 236 K, 1.77 ERA and in line for 22-6 W-L.

  13. Fowler RBI single. 5-0.

  14. After putting a dent in left field wall in third, Russell assaults CF wall for second double of game.

  15. Sale gets Sox strikeout record tonight. … Best pitcher in Chicago: Sale or Arrieta?

  16. Rizzo bases loaded single scores two for 4-0 lead. Three RBIs tonight ties Bryant at 99 for team lead.

  17. Arrieta thru 4 scoreless with 2-0 lead. ERA down to 1.78 in final start of year. Pitch count: 50 (Maddon wants to keep him < 90)

  18. Davis two-out soft single to RCF in 4th, first to reach off Arrieta since first batter of game.

  19. Castro follows Rizzo HR with double to LCF gap.

  20. Rizzo! Solo HR in 4th makes it 2-0.
