Jake Arrieta's magical run comes to an end in Cubs loss

All good things come to an end.

There's no way Jake Arrieta was going to go undefeated forever.

Arrieta picked up his first loss in more than 10 months Sunday as the Cubs fell 3-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in front of 41,596 fans at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs ace had previously won his last 20 decisions dating back to August of last year. Arrieta's last loss came when Cole Hamels no-hit the Cubs July 25, 2015.

Arrieta had 12 strikeouts in five innings, but he wasn't as sharp as usual, needing 51 pitches to get through the first two frames.
