Things are looking up for the Rhys Hoskins and the Phillies after a 1-4 start. The Phils returned home from a 4-3 road trip winners in six of their last nine games
He singled to left field to score Herrera from second. Between the movement on his pitches and his pinpoint command, Arrieta was close to untouchable last night.
"Three starts in, to be able to do that, it's a good sign", Arrieta said afterward (see video below). "Other than being able to locate the changeup a little bit better, it was about as good as I've been".
The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays have already played five times this season and every single game has been a close one.
Three years older and with more mileage on his arm, the 32-year-old Arrieta will probably never get back to his 2015 levels, but it's clear that he can - at least at times - channel the Cy Young victor he once was.
The 32-year-old right-hander was on from the start, striking out Adam Frazier and Gregory Polanco to open the game on a pair of 94 miles per hour sinkers.
The Phillies came off a series where they dropped two of three to the Atlanta Braves. As Arrieta has done so many times before, he dominated the Pirates in a 7-0 Phillies victory. Over 7 innings, Arrieta struck out 10, allowed 1 hit and walked 2. Arrieta started for the Cubs that day.
Arrieta's sinker broke 11.46 inches on average. "The velo came back today in a big way and all of those things combined made for an incredible outing". He was spotted a 5-0 lead after the second inning Thursday and ran with it. That year, he went 22-6 for the Chicago Cubs with an insane 1.77 ERA and 2.35 FIP across 229 innings pitched. Rhys Hoskins homered and Cesar Hernandez cleared the bases with a three-run single.
"Any time I get a multiple run lead I'm going to be aggressive with the strike zone", Arrieta told reporters after the game.

The free agent market developed slowly this off-season as owners seemed reluctant to spend money.
Obviously, strikeouts are king in fantasy, and 10 in 7 innings - with 14 swings-and-misses - is a sign that Arrieta may once again be giving fantasy owners the Ks that made him an elite option not long ago.
The Phillies have won five straight against NL Central opponents and six of their last eight games against a right-handed starter.
On Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Philadelphia Phillies right-hander turned back the clock and looked like his younger self.
As good as he can be on the mound, Arrieta can also boost the Phillies and their young pitchers off the field.
"Little black mutt terrier", Kapler said. "They gravitate towards him and learn so much from him". He is 2-1 through four starts with a 4.88 ERA and a 1.17. The Diamondbacks are No. 1 at 2.87.
But let's not leave out Arrieta's curveball, which looked like the dominant pitch it was three years ago.
