On Sunday night, Arrieta no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. While this might fold into other stories – the no-hitter was the sixth in the big leagues since June 9, the second against the $300 million Dodgers in nine days, the first for a snake-bitten Chicago Cubs in seven years – there is first Arrieta, the 29-year-old right-hander kicked into a trade two years ago who became an ace. He won his 17th game Sunday night, by a score of 2-0.
