A look at what’s happening all around the majors today:

UNBEATABLE

Cubs RHP Jake Arrieta (6-0, 1.13 ERA) faces Pittsburgh and tries to win his 18th straight decision, moving closer to Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell’s major league record of 24 straight victories. Hubbell set the mark with the New York Giants in 1936-37. Arrieta, who last lost on July 25, has gone just five innings in two of his past three starts since his no-hitter against Cincinnati.
