MILWAUKEE — Any year now, Cubs lefty Justin Steele will be credited with one of those elusive distinctions known in baseball circles as a pitching victory.
OK, so it might not happen this year. But it almost has to happen eventually — later rather than sooner, because we’re so far beyond “sooner” here, it isn’t even funny.
After six innings and a hard-luck no-decision Saturday in the Cubs’ 5-3 win against the Brewers at American Family Field, Steele, who was a first-time All-Star in 2023, has a dirty dozen starts this season — six of them in a sparkling June — without a single win on his record.
