AC/DC under fire for damaging Wrigley Field
“We’re very excited to celebrate AC/DC’s legendary rock status with the launch of AC/DC Beer in Australia”, says an ALDI spokesperson. “But your mindset plays a big deal in what the outcome looks like”. But the night belonged to Arrieta, who added another accomplishment to a fine season that includes a no-hitter August 30 against the Dodgers and has him in a battle with the Dodgers’ Zack Greinke for the NL Cy Young Award.
Yadiel Rivera made his major-league debut for the Brewers Tuesday night, entering the game as part of a double-switch in the fifth inning, replacing Perez at third base.
Arrieta’s pitch count was only at 87 through seven innings, but climbed in the final two innings. Nevertheless, Arrieta was appreciative of Maddon letting him start the ninth and throw his fourth complete game and third shutout of the season.
We’re not saying the Cubs are the reincarnated version of the Giants, but with Arrieta on the mound, he can personally ruin anyone’s season in a one-game wild card format.
One of the most fanatical is Ralph Roberts, who yelled “Go Cubbies” just last week as he noticed me while driving by. “It’s just one of those things that doesn’t happen often, but you try to appreciate when they do”. “You got to be flawless to win those games”.
The left fielder’s seventh career walk-off hit – a liner down the right-field line – knocked in Anthony Gose, who drew a two-out walk against Zach Duke (3-6).
Bryant’s three RBI were more than enough for Arrieta to pick up win No. 20.
Kris Bryant set a Cubs rookie record with his 26th home run and raised his RBI total to 98 with three more. He lacked control in the first, but survived with minimal damage after throwing two wild pitches, walking two and allowing two hits, then retired the side in order the next four innings – once with the help of a double play.
RAYS 5, RED SOX 2 Mikie Mahtook hit a two-run homer and Matt Moore recovered from a hard start to strike out seven as Tampa Bay beat host Boston.
Well, okay, not the entire place, just the infield. The Shuckers lost the best-of-five Southern League championship series to Chattanooga (Twins) 3-2…. RHP Jimmy Nelson (head contusion) was placed on the 60-day disabled list, and RHP Michael Blazek (broken right hand) was transferred to the 60-day DL. Kyle Hendricks toes the rubber for the third time against the Brewers on Wednesday.
