Arrieta keeps Indians in check as Cubs force Game 7 (Yahoo Sports)

Joe Maddon didn't need to give Jake Arrieta any sort of pep talk before Game 6 of the World Series. Who better to trust with a season in the balance than the pitcher whose rebirth in Chicago has come in lockstep with the club's rise from cuddly also-rans to blossoming juggernaut? ''I think Jake likes to shoulder these kind of moments,'' Maddon said a couple of hours before Arrieta's first pitch against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
