Arrieta cruises in second career shutout
Arrieta's four-hit shutout 1:35 6/21/15: Jake Arrieta tosses a four-hit shutout on 122 pitches, striking out seven in an 8-0 Cubs win What also helped keep Arrieta in the game was that he did not have any stressful innings in the Cubs' 8-0 victory over the Twins.
"All the indicators and factors were pointed in the right direction, so let him finish," Maddon said.
That's what Arrieta did, notching his second career shutout. The right-hander scattered four hits, did not walk a batter and struck out seven. It was the 33rd quality start by a Cubs pitcher this season, and the team now is 27-6 in those games.
