Dodgers Had Epic Tweet To Give Jake Arrieta Props After His 2nd No-Hitter
(CBS) The baseball world was quick to react to Cubs ace Jake Arrieta's no-hitter in a 16-0 win against the Reds on Thursday night, the second such performance in his past 11 regular-season starts.
The Dodgers -- whom Arrieta no-hit last Aug. 30 -- had the tweet of the night.
Hey @Reds, Arrieta no-hitter support group meets on Mondays.

The Reds did their part to respond.
@Dodgers We'll bring the Budweiser.

Arrieta's teammates were thrilled.

Plenty of other big leaguers chimed in as well.
Arrieta's wife, Brittany, pointed out that her husband had a teammate in mind while throwing his no-hitter.
