Justin Steele let his pitching doing all the talking this time. And it was more than enough.
In his first start since an emotional outburst in which he implored himself and his team to “wake the [bleep] up” in Milwaukee on Saturday, Steele was in complete control of his emotions and the Angels in a 5-1 victory on Friday before 36,948 fans at Wrigley Field.
The 28-year-old left-hander allowed one run on two hits and struck out seven (1-3) to earn his first victory of the season. He did not allow a hit until there was one out in the fifth inning.
