Still, these guys are playing great baseball now. They are off on a pretty soft roadtrip through Philadelphia and Atlanta before they finish off against a contender in Washington.

Quite a Homestand
The Cubs were 8 and 2 on the homestand,recovering quite nicely from their previous slump. Ironically, the only two losses occurred when Arrieta pitched. Not that he pitched poorly. Quite the contrary. He had seven shutout innings in the first start, only to have the bullpen second string completely implode. On Sunday, he struck out twelve Diamondbacks in five innings. To my mind though he was not sharp. Arizona ran up his pitch count with all the deep counts. He was also pretty shaky in his final inning and was fortunate to escape that inning without more runs.
