Chicago Cubs: Experienced starting rotation leading the team’s charge

After an absolutely abysmal start to the season, the Chicago Cubs seem to be figuring things out on the mound. With a bunch of veterans making up the pitching staff, they know how to pitch and get themselves out of trouble, and that should be good news for the Cubs.

Mainly, Cole Hamels and Jose Quintana have been behind the turnaround. Hamels hasn’t walked a batter since his first start of the season in Texas. His next three starts he has combined to throw 21 innings, striking out 19 and allowing just 13 hits and a trio of runs.
