Arrieta, and really the entire team, had a rough outing coming out of the All-Star break against San Diego. While they won the game 11-5, a four-run first inning by San Diego was a painful reminder that the defense behind Arrieta is rarely sharp.

After taking four losses in five June starts, Arrieta is 2-0 in four starts during the month of July. Earlier this season against the Dodgers Arrieta went seven shutout innings for a win.
