Frogs in the Pros: April 2 - 9, 2017
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsJake Arrieta (P/Chicago Cubs) – Arrieta showed up to face his buddy Matt Carpenter on April 2 in St. Louis. He pitched 6 innings and didn’t allow a runner to get on base until the 4th inning, when Dexter Fowler singled to deep left. And the Cardinals only managed a run in the bottom of the 8th because Javier Baez had an error at second that allowed Stephen Piscotty to score. The Cubs won the game 2-1, with Arrieta pitching 6 innings. He struck out 6 and walked 2, while allowing 1 (unearned) run on 4 hits. He also had a single in the top of the 3rd, but was out on a fielder’s choice at second base.
