Who says the Cubs can’t develop great pitching?
Justin Steele is a strong contender for the National League Cy Young Award and he showed the reasons why Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. He gutted out six innings — several of them after being hit in the leg by a 100 mile per hour line drive — and the Cubs got excellent relief work and made a first-inning run stand up for a 1-0 win over the Brewers.
Steele allowed a walk and a single in the first, but got out of the inning without incident.
