CINCINNATI — One day after making history by throwing his second career no-hitter, Jake Arrieta did his normal post-start routine on Friday. It’s business as usual, even if the right-hander has been so unique.

Since June 21, Arrieta is 20-1 with an 0.86 ERA (17 earned runs over 178 innings pitched) with 33 walks and 173 strikeouts in 24 regular-season starts. Since Aug. 1, he’s 15-0 with a 0.53 ERA (seven earned runs and 119 1/3 innings pitched) in 16 starts.

Manager Joe Maddon has had a tough time keeping up with all of the Arrieta facts and figures. One thing Maddon did discover Friday was that Hall of Famer Bob Gibson, who was the manager’s favorite player growing up, never had numbers like Arrieta’s.
