FROM ROTOWORLD: Godley held the Cardinals scoreless over seven innings in a win Thursday. The right-hander yielded just four hits, all singles, and walked two while striking out seven in the victory. It was a much-needed turn after a couple of disappointing outings his last two times out. The win was actually his first in over a month despite some decent showings in between, and in 14 starts overall Godley is 4-4 with a 3.06 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 91/27 K/BB ratio over 88 1/3 innings. He’ll be tested Wednesday when the Diamondbacks visit the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Arrieta earned his 10th victory of the season on Wednesday, limiting the White Sox to two runs on two hits over 6 2/3 innings. Arrieta punched out five on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. The White Sox scratched out a run in the fifth inning then Yoan Moncada belted a solo homer on Arrieta’s final pitch in the seventh. He’ll look to further improve upon his 4.03 ERA and 1.23 WHIP when he squares off against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
