PHOTO: Dodgers send Cubs' Arrieta pitching rubber from no-hitter

Jake Arrieta received a present from the Los Angeles Dodgers after pitching a no-hitter against them Sunday, but it wasn't something he could place on his mantle.

The Chicago Cubs hurler was sent the pitching rubber from his first career no-hitter on Tuesday, a gift that was pretty hefty.

"Really nice gesture," Arrieta told reporters. "They sent a bucket of dirt from the mound, and they dug up the pitching rubber, which weighed 60 pounds. That's something I'll cherish as much or more than anything I've been given throughout the process.

"Grateful they sent that stuff to us."

The Dodgers were no-hit twice in the month of August, with the second performance courtesy of Houston Astros right-hander Mike Fiers.
