Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta threw his second no-hitter in 11 starts Thursday, in a 16-0 route of the Cincinnati Reds. He threw his first no-hitter in August before the Los Angeles Dodgers. The charts below compare the two games for the National League Cy Young Award winner who continues an incredible period of dominance. Arrieta, 30, is 15-0 with an 0.53 ERA in 16 starts dating to Aug. 1. That stretch includes a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 30, 2015 — making this his second such gem in 11 regular-season starts. “Regardless of how long it took or what I had to go through to get there, I had visualizations of throwing no-hitters or throwing shutouts. It’s starting to happen for me, and I don’t take any of it for granted,” Arrieta said Thursday.
