DETROIT – Cubs starter Drew Smyly wiped his forehead and adjusted his hat after another disappointing outing. It was his first start back from a temporary stint in the bullpen, and time is running out for the lefty to turn around his season.
“I need to pitch better, obviously,” Smyly said after the Cubs’ 8-6 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.
If Smyly, who surrendered seven runs to Detroit in 3 u2154 innings, doesn’t get better results soon, the Cubs are going to have to decide what to do with that fifth rotation spot down the stretch.
