One game in and the WildCard is already looking exhausting.

Arias, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was dealing all game. He kept Washington hitters off-balance, while giving the Cubs 8 quality innings. Arias threw 93 pitches, allowing 5 hits and striking out 7.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Washington manager Nationals Manager.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Nationals Park in Washington.
