easily ball 4 as it was in the dirt and way outside. The catcher had to throw him out at first.

[LoneStarPhan]

Keep swinging at pitches that far away from the strike zone and the Phillies will go down without a run tonight.

I don’t know how the Cubs only have 1 run. Jake has been pretty bad. Getting behind batters. Leaving pitches in the middle of the zone.

Arrieta continues on the tightrope. Harper's arm saved him this time.

[Patchmk88]

Hell of a throw by Harper saving Arrieta. If there ever was a game for the ERA detractors, tonight’s game by Jake would be it. Only 1 ER in 5 innings despite 8 hits and 2 Walks.
