Jake Arrieta lost for the first time in 25 starts, as the Arizona Diamondbacks posted a 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs Sunday. Arrieta (9-1) struck out a season-high 12 but gave up a season-worst nine hits and walked one in five innings. He last lost July 25, 2015, when the Philadelphia Phillies' Cole Hamels threw a no-hitter against the Cubs. Arrieta had won 20 consecutive decisions, the third most in baseball since 1913. The Cubs lost for the first time in 24 starts by Arrieta Tuesday when they fell 5-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Arrieta was also trying to become the quickest Cubs pitcher to reach 10 victories since Grover Alexander in 1920. Yasmany Tomas hit a two-run double off Arrieta in the second inning, and Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI single in the fifth. Diamondbacks lefty Patrick Corbin held Chicago to two runs in five innings. Marlins 1, Mets 0: Jose Fernandez matched his career high with 14 strikeouts and won a pitching duel against Matt Harvey as Miami defeated New York. Fernandez (9-2) pitched seven scoreless innings for his eighth win in his past eight starts. He allowed four hits and no walks. The only time Fernandez encountered even mild trouble was the first inning when Curtis Granderson hit a two-out double. Fernandez, who has a 2.29 ERA, retired the next 15 batters in a row, striking out the side in the fourth. Harvey (4-8) allowed four hits, no walks and one run in seven innings. He struck out three. He surrendered an RBI single to J.T. Realmuto in the fifth inning, and that was the difference. Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 4: Edwin Encarnacion belted a two-run homer and Marco Estrada took a no-hitter into the eighth inning as Toronto held on to beat Boston. Estrada (4-2) held the Red Sox without a hit through 7-1/3 innings before Chris Young's solo homer. He gave up two hits and three walks while striking out five in eight-plus innings. Jose Bautista, Darwin Barney and Russell Martin hit solo homers for the Blue Jays, who have won five of its last six and 12 of 16 since ending a season-worst five-game skid. David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez each hit RBI doubles and Jackie Bradley Jr. had an RBI single in the ninth for the Red Sox, who dropped two of three in the series and four of five overall. Tigers 5, White Sox 2: Justin Verlander held Chicago to five hits over seven innings — two of them solo home runs — and struggling Justin Upton negated those with a two-run double at the end of a four-run fifth inning to help Detroit complete a three-game sweep of Chicago. Nationals 10, Reds 9: Daniel Murphy and Wilson Ramos hit home runs to help Washington avoid a series sweep with a victory over Cincinnati. The Nationals' trio of Bryce Harper, Murphy and Ramos combined to go 9-for-15 with two homers and five RBIs in just the second win in the past nine meetings with the Reds.
