The Chicago Cubs have finally tasted defeat when Jake Arrieta takes the mound, as the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-0 victory on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field snapped the team's 23-game winning streak with the 30-year-old ace starting.
Arrieta remains undefeated on the year at 9-0, however. Clayton Richard was credited with the loss.
