As Cubs move closer to division title, Jake Arrieta looks ready for October

MILWAUKEE This was the type of game Jake Arrieta visualizes, a loud atmosphere with 35,114 fans on their feet and an opponent that really doesnt like the Cubs at all. This one would ultimately be out of his hands, lasting 10 innings and almost 4 hours on Thursday night at Miller Park, but Arrieta looked like a Game 1 starter as the Cubs roared back for a 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Its just good to be back out there, Arrieta said.
