There’s no questioning the Chicago Cubs have had some trying times early this season, but one thing that’s been fun to watch has been the organization finally trusting their own on the mound.
Keegan Thompson and Justin Steele have made their Major League debuts, Dillon Maples has hung around after making the Opening Day roster, along with Adbert Alzolay. Alzolay has made four starts and carries a 4.71 ERA.
Thompson made his debut against the Cincinnati Reds last weekend and then made a start in the second game of a doubleheader against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night and he held his own, pitching 3 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball.
