Arrieta s 0.45 ERA last month is the lowest by any pitcher within the month of September since Minnesota s Johan Santana turned in an identical 0.45 ERA (2 ER/40.0 IP) in 2004 the last N.L. pitcher to post an ERA of 0.45 or lower in September was Greg Maddux in 1995 with a 0.29 ERA (1 ER/31.0 IP) both Santana and Maddux went on to win their league s Cy Young Award. Starlin Castro led the majors with a.426 batting average (29-for-68) in September, while Kris Bryant tied for third in the N.L. with 36 hits last month.
