After collecting 38 runs and 51 hits in the first four games of the win streak, Chicago managed just four hits against Kyle Gibson (8-4) and two relievers. But Mike Tauchman delivered a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the fifth, and the Cubs held on.
After Steele departed, Julian Merryweather got three outs and Mark Leiter Jr. worked two innings. Adbert Alzolay then closed it out for his fourth save.
Adley Rutschman hit a two-run homer for Baltimore, and Austin Hays had two of the team's seven hits. Gibson struck out seven and walked two in six innings. Hoerner also hit a bloop double in the eighth. He is batting .364 with seven RBIs in his last eight games.
