KANSAS CITY -- Since the All-Star break, the Cubs' starting rotation had a less than stellar 5.58 ERA entering Monday night's game against the Royals, but manager Joe Maddon isn't concerned about the starters.
"Everybody has to contribute to this," Maddon said of the Cubs' playoff push. "Of course, we're looking for more length from the starters. Observationally and conversationally, they're all in good shape. I don't think anybody's been over-extended, the attitude is great. All that stuff is in good order.
"Moving it forward, I think our guys are really good and I want to believe we'll find that magic potion at some point," he said.
