Eight shutout innings and 12 strikeouts, both career highs, convey Justin Steele’s utter domination in the Chicago Cubs’ 5-0 win over the San Francisco Giants.
“It’s fun to watch guys throw like that and give you a chance to win every single night,” manager David Ross said, “especially when they’re going toe to toe with some of the better ones in the game. He’s done that for us, been that horse and as consistent as anybody we’ve had for a while now.”
Seiya Suzuki slugged a solo homer off a Webb four-seam fastball in the second for the lead, and Suzuki bested him again in the seventh for an RBI double when Webb left a changeup over the middle of the plate.Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki hits a double during the seventh inning against the Giants on Monday, Sept. 4, 2023, at Wrigley Field.
Steele set the tone with his four-seam fastball, dotting the baseball around the zone wherever Gomes wanted it. He generated 13 whiffs and 12 called strikes with the fastball. “Jon was really good at that too — that doesn’t even do Jon credit — but Steely for sure, he’s a big-game pitcher.”
