Jake Arrieta concedes seven earned runs in Cubs' loss

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta allowed 7 earned runs on 10 hits over 5 innings in a rough 8-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Those seven earned runs are the most Arrieta has given up in a game this season, and this marks his third loss in his last five starts.

It has been a down year for Arrieta, and his 3.10 ERA, 3.95 SIERA, 23.9 percent strikeout rate and 9.6 percent walk rate are all his worst marks since 2013.
