Bronson Arroyo continued his recent mastery of the Chicago Cubs with seven shutout innings in a 3-0 Reds victory Friday afternoon. In his last five starts against Chicago, Arroyo has allowed five runs, three earned, and none this season. That gives him a 0.81 ERA. He’s allowed 19 hits despite striking out just 22 batters in that time.

The Reds hold to first place for another day.
