Cubs starter Jake Arrieta tossed a no-hitter -- the first of his six-year career -- on Sunday night at Dodger Stadium, and finished it off in impressive fashion, striking out the side in the ninth inning. They were three of the 12 strikeouts the right-hander recorded on the evening.

Arrieta’s transformation from a busted Orioles prospect into the Cubs’ ace has been a sight to behold. He currently sports a 2.11 ERA and could sneak into the NL Cy Young race with a strong finish of his own and a stumble to the finish line on Zack Greinke’s part.
