Cubs ace Justin Steele yielded 5 runs in 6 innings during a 7-3 loss to the Astros on Tuesday. It broke a string of 12 straight starts in which Steele threw 5-plus innings and allowed 3 or fewer runs. The Cubs have lost four straight.
When the wins are piling up everything is right in the world.
So was the story of the 2023 Cubs for the first month of the season, with David Ross' squad winning 14 of their first 24 games. The downward spiral has only accelerated and is threatening to reach a fever pace, especially after ace Justin Steele yielded 5 runs in 6 innings during a 7-3 loss to the Astros on Tuesday. It broke a string of 12 straight starts in which Steele threw 5-plus innings and allowed 3 or fewer runs. That was the longest such streak by a Cubs pitcher since Jake Arrieta went 20 straight in 2015-16.Nothing special about all of that.
