Cubs starter Justin Steele had a bad day Friday. But Cubs hitters had an even worse one.
Steele allowed six runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings in a rare poor outing. But even prime Steele might not have mattered, because the Cubs were held to no hits through six innings by Reds starter Hunter Greene and needed Christopher Morel’s single off reliever Eduardo Salazar leading off the eighth to avoid being no-hit n a 7-0 loss before 31,946 fans at Wrigley Field.
