The Cubs’ starting pitching has been a strength, but they’re still probably in need of one more starter.
Tsuyoshi Wada has been decent so far this year, but had his worst start of the season last night, giving up five runs on nine hits in 3.2 innings.
It was too much for the Cubs to overcome, as they ultimately dropped the game to the Nationals 7-5.
Wada’s start underscores the the need for a dependable fifth starter; I feel like his success will only last so long.
Hopefully he can tread water until the Cubs can pull off a deal at the trade deadline.
