Jake Arrieta struck out eight and allowed one run on two hits in six innings Sunday vs. the Brewers, but he took a hard-luck loss. In seven career games in Cincinnati, Arrieta is 5-1 with a 3.59 ERA in 42 2/3 innings (46 strikeouts and 21 walks). The Cubs got their bats going Thursday, they're 6-0 versus left-handed starters, and now they face southpaw Wade Miley in Cincinnati. Miley's last two starts: six earned runs allowed over 11 innings. Look for Cincinnati to drop its fifth straight home game and the CUBS knock him around.
