We are 10 years removed from the Chicago Cubs' 2015 playoff run, when starting pitcher Jake Arrieta delivered one of the most dominant pitching performances in team history.
The Cubs closed the regular season with a stellar 97-65 record, but had somehow finished third in the National League Central. This set up a Wild Card matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, where Arrieta was given the ball in a winner-take-all matchup.
The result was nothing short of miraculous. Against a potent Pirates lineup, Arrieta continued his historic stretch of dominance by hurling a complete game shutout with 11 strikeouts, no walks, and just five hits allowed.
