Arihara allowed one run on two hits over three innings in Monday's spring game against the Cubs.
Arihara showed better control of his seven pitches in this outing than he did in his debut, when he gave up three runs and five hits. The downside Monday was the fielding behind him -- two first-inning errors by non-regulars (Charlie Culberson and Andy Ibanez) extended the inning and used up some of Arihara's pitch count. Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Arihara typically pitches to contact, so he needs quality fielders behind him.
