Even though the fell victim to Jake Arrieta throwing the first no-hitter of the season Thursday night, the Cincinnati Reds were able to find a positive in the 16-0 loss.

Well played, fellas. Also finding time to tweet, the Los Angeles Dodgers who, as you might recall, got blanked by the pitcher late last season.
Hey @Reds, Arrieta no-hitter support group meets on Mondays.

Now…back to that tweet by the Reds.
While everyone is celebrating Arrieta’s second no-no in his last eleven regular season starts, getting four walks off the Chicago Cubs hurler is just about as rare of a feat. Matter of fact, you’d have to go back to a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians last June 16 to find a game where the righty put four or more men on base via the base on balls.
Silver. Lining.
