Arrieta to face Bumgarner in pivotal Game 3

1475972464562

CHICAGO — The Giants not only head home to continue this best-of-five National League Division Series on Monday, but they have the luxury of sending out one of the most dominant postseason performers in recent history for Game 3. And yet, the Cubs are confident with their counter.

That, of course, is Jake Arrieta, who will oppose Giants ace Madison Bumgarner as the series shifts to San Francisco (9:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. CT on FS1).

That performance, however, was an outlier. In his other three outings against San Francisco since the start of his NL Cy Young Award-winning season, Arrieta has gone undefeated with one run allowed over 20 2/3 innings. His ERA at AT&T Park over that stretch registers at 0.69.
