ONE MORE AT WRIGLEY

The Cubs seek their major league-best 40th victory when ace Jake Arrieta faces Arizona to close a 10-game homestand. Arrieta (9-0, 1.56 ERA) will attempt to win his 21st straight decision and move closer to Carl Hubbell’s major league record of 24. The Cubs have won 10 of 11, with the lone defeat coming in Arrieta’s last start Monday against the Dodgers. Arrieta went seven scoreless innings before the bullpen faltered in the 5-0 loss, ending a Cubs streak of 23 straight victories when he starts.
