For the second time in two years, Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arietta deals a no-hitter:
“Well, he’s arrived, and if last year’s historic second half wasn’t enough proof — as if it couldn’t be enough — Arrieta has picked up where he left off, winning his fourth game in four starts in 2016 and lowering his ERA to 0.87. The scary thing is he didn’t even have his best stuff Thursday. Not even close. That came against the Los Angeles Dodgers last August in no-hitter No. 1…
Ross wanted a picture with Arrieta, who just finished answering questions about a no-hitter in an opposing team’s facility for the second time in 10 regular-season starts. Two men at different points in their careers sat there making sure photographers got a good shot. If his first no-hitter was about the rise of Arrieta as an elite pitcher, the second one might be about the team — and its cast of characters — around him.”
