The Cubs couldn’t push so much as a single run across during last night’s rain-delayed game, but they’re still in position to win the series behind Justin Steele. They have scored a total of seven runs in five games since the break and have been shut out twice, so maybe it’s time to break the trend.
It helps that they’re facing former Cub Rob Zastryzny, a super good dude who’s never been able to stick at the highest level. After logging 34.2 innings from 2016-18 in Chicago, the lefty has tallied just 31.1 frames between the Mets, Dodgers, Pirates, and Brewers.
