Cubs' Jake Arrieta Honored As NL Player Of The Week

/ CBS Chicago

(CBS) Cubs ace Jake Arrieta has been honored as the National League Player of the Week after throwing his second career no-hitter last Thursday in a 16-0 win against the Reds.

Arrieta struck out six and walked four in his masterful 119-pitch effort, which moved him to 4-0 and dropped his ERA to 0.87. It was his second no-hitter in his past 11 regular-season starts. He'd also thrown a no-hitter against the Dodgers last Aug. 30.

The Cubs (14-5) have Monday off before hosting the Brewers (8-11) on Tuesday.
