Arrieta will resume pursuit of Brown's record of starting the season with 11 straight victories Sunday at Wrigley Field against the Nationals, with every trip to the mound lately also including a journey through Cubs history. Only three major-league pitchers have more than Arrieta's 17 straight winning decisions over two seasons — Roger Clemens, Carl Hubbell and Roy Face. No Cubs pitcher ever has experienced a 26-start stretch quite like Arrieta's, in which he is 22-1 with an 0.85 earned-run average.
