Cardinals Win, Cubs Split

No matter what Jake Arrieta does for the Phillies, the Cubs will always remember what he did for them on Oct. 7, 2015. On that date, the right-hander propelled the Cubs into the postseason, throwing a shutout against the Pirates to win the National League Wild Card Game.

"Dynamic," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of Arrieta's performance. "What he did in probably the most significant game we played against the Pirates, winning that Wild Card Game. That jettisoned us beyond. That was a kind of a seminal moment right there."

Arrieta threw his first career no-hitter that year, on Aug. 30 against the Dodgers, and finished 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA, winning the NL Cy Young Award.

On Tuesday, the right-hander was dressed in Phillies red after signing a three-year contract with the team.

"I'm happy for him," said Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella, who exchanged text messages Monday with Arrieta. "It's awesome, and it'll be a nice fit for them. He has an opportunity to influence a team that will be pretty good sometime soon."
