Week 3: Thursday's Roundup

Jake Arrieta leaps into his grandfather's arms
after no-hitting the Reds.
Studs: Doesn't it seem like just a couple of months ago that we talked about Jake Arrieta (R) throwing a no-hitter? Well, he did it again; this time he shut down Cincinnati, striking out 6, singling twice and scoring a run. Ben Zobrist (HE) was a triple short of a cycle and drove in 3. Don't you just hate when you bench the wrong guy? Especially when Retire 21 could have kept Kris Bryant and Matt Carpenter in the lineup if Bryant had played just one more game in the outfield before Monday. Instead, Bryant went berserk on Ray's bench, homering twice, singling twice, scoring 4 runs and driving in 6. How good is Clayton Kershaw (FF)? He made this list despite allowing 10 hits in a no-decision. He allowed 1 run and struck out 10 Braves in 8 innings. Gerrit Cole (GH) got the win and struck out 7 in 6 shutout innings. 

Duds: Adonis Garcia (R) went 2 for 4 but made a pair of errors. Brandon Finnegan (R) made an error, allowed 5 runs and fanned 2 in a 4-inning loss. Also, his team was no-hit, so (shrug)... 

Scores

Arbitration Losers 97, Goldschmidt Happens 79
Fresh Fish 110, The Lumbar Yard 105
Retire 21 70, Misfits 60
Hundley Eyes 119, Rookies 116
Lawyers, Guns & Money 95, Pitch You Blockhead 92
