NEW YORK -- Jake Arrieta was not accustomed to this.The NL Cy Young Award winner started his first eight batters with balls.He went to 3-2 counts four times in a 35-pitch first inning, allowing Neil Walkers two-run homer.Its frustrating for me, because I expect a lot more out of myself, he said Saturday night after the New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in Arrietas first regular-season road loss in 14 months.Just after Anthony Rizzo tied the score with a two-run, fourth-inning homer off Bartolo Colon, Travis dArnaud blooped a two-run single in the bottom half that sent the Mets to their third straight win in the four-game series, which ends Sunday.Arrieta (12-3) has lost three times in six starts, giving up four runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings against the defending NL champions.Poor performance on my end, he said. Just didnt get the effort my team needed tonight. I needed to be more of a stopper, put a stop to the bleeding.He had been 19-0 in 24 regular-season road starts since losing at St. Louis on May 7, 2015 -- to current teammate John Lackey. Arrieta is the only pitcher since 1913 to win 19 consecutive road decisions. However, he lost Game 2 of last years NL Championship Series at Citi Field.Believe me, were all going to be in for a treat when this all gets straightened out, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. Hes going to look like he did last year.Arrieta said issues with mechanics were overblown.Were spinning our wheels a little bit too much trying to figure out what the solution is, or is there a problem, he said. I just need to pitch better. Thats the bottom line.Rookie Brandon Nimmo walked leading off the first, and Walker sent a 94 mph sinker off the facing of the second deck in right. Walker had been 4 for 28 against Arrieta, including the postseason.He just wasnt throwing as many strikes early in the count as Ive been accustomed to facing him, Walker said. When youre 1-0, 2-1 with everybody, it makes it difficult to use that entire arsenal.With the score 2-2 in the fourth and runners at first and second, dArnaud popped a ball into short center field, in the middle of a triangle formed by center fielder Jason Heyward, second baseman Javier Baez and shortstop Addison Russell. On a full run toward the outfield and with his back to home plate, Baez reached up with his right, bare hand, but the ball glanced off it and fell to the ground as two runs scored. Baez had just entered the game at second base.Colon (7-4) allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, and Ben Zobrist homered off Erik Goeddel in the seventh.Addison Reed struck out Kris Bryant to end the seventh with the potential tying run on second, and then struck out the side in the eighth after Rizzos leadoff single. Jeurys Familia got three straight outs to convert his 44th consecutive save chance, including a major league-leading 28 this season.Chicago lost for the ninth time in 13 games but still has the best record in the major leagues at 51-29. After getting swept in a three-game series at Washington, the Mets can sweep four from the Cubs.We want to finish it off tomorrow, Mets manager Terry Collins said.LOOKING AHEADArrieta is to start Friday at Pittsburgh, putting him in position for a possible start for Collins of the Mets in the All-Star Game at San Diego on July 12.JUST PLAIN LOOKINGPlate umpire Laz Diaz called nine batters out on strikes, including five Cubs. When Baez was called out leading off the ninth, he held out both arms, and Maddon yelled from the dugout.The amorphic strike zone tonight was really difficult for both sides, Maddon said.CUBS ROTATIONRight-hander Adam Warren is to start Wednesday against Cincinnati at Wrigley Field, following Kyle Hendricks and John Lackey. Maddon said Warren could get a start after the All-Star break but because of a July 21 off day, it was unlikely he would go with a six-man rotation two turns in a row.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: RF Chris Coghlan left after three innings because of right ribcage soreness.UP NEXTLHP Jon Lester (9-3) is to start Sundays series final for the Cubs and RHP Noah Syndergaard (8-3) for the Mets. Lester is 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA in three regular-season starts against the Mets but lost last years NL Championship Series opener to Matt Harvey. Emerson Jersey . Louis Blues.

Who: SK Telecom T1 (South Korea, 5-1) vs. Royal Never Give Up (China, 3-3)When: Friday, Oct. 14 at 6:00 PM Eastern/3:00 PM PacificWhere: Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IllinoisWhats at stakeRoyal Never Give Ups Jian Uzi Zi-Haos career is coated in silver. He has eight second-place finishes in his illustrious career and is still searching for the major championship that will break him from his seemingly endless string of silver medals. His latest final, in 2014, was against his current teammate and bottom-lane partner, Cho Mata Se-hyeong, from juggernaut Samsung White.Lee Faker Sang-hyeok was Uzis opponent in the 2013 Summoners Cup Finals on SK Telecom T1. While the team rosters have changed over time and the Royal Uzi plays on now isnt the same club as the one he played back then, itll once again be Faker and SKT T1 vs. Uzi and Royal at the World Championships.Faker, unlike Uzi, has a career that is only known for gold. Two Summoners Cup victories, five domestic championships, and other international accolades fill his expansive trophy case. For every time Uzi has been labeled a disgruntled runner-up, Faker has been considered the golden boy of the game, basking in the glory of crossing the finish line first.Both times Faker and Uzi have made the World Championships in the past, theyve made it to the finals. This time, only one will move onto the semifinals to try and make it three straigght trips.dddddddddddd Either it will be another chapter in Uzis career where he comes up just short, or, in the biggest win of his career, hell overcome his greatest obstacle.Matchup to Watch: Bae Bang Jun-sik and Lee Wolf Jae-wan (SKT) vs. Jian Uzi Zi-Hao and Cho Mata Se-hyeong (RNG)This will certainly be the matchup to watch in this highly-anticipated quarterfinal clash. Royal plays almost exclusively through its world-class bottom lane, and SK Telecom T1 might be performing even better through the first two weeks of the tournament. Bang has been arguably the MVP of the competition through the group stages. His 14 CS differential at 10 minutes is six higher than any other AD carry in the bracket stage, and hes outputting 734 DPM, the second-most out of any player in the competition.For enemy teams, if they actually heavily focus on our bottom lane, itll give us a much harder chance to win, Uzi said.SK Telecom T1, a team known for its dissection of opponents and exploiting their weaknesses, should not fall to the same shortcomings as North Americas champion. Uzi and Mata know they are going to be pressured by the defending world champion, and itll be up to them and the rest of RNG to make sure their star duo can thrive in even the harshest of conditions.
