Justin Steele tosses five scoreless innings in Cubs’ win over the Twins

The Cubs have been looking for a start where things went left-hander Justin Steele’s way. After a few rough outings over his first three starts in the rotation, Steele finally had the outing they’ve been looking for.

It took Steele about a few innings to get himself into a groove in the Cubs’ 3-0 win over the Twins. He walked two and hit a batter over his first two innings, but got himself into a rhythm.

The Cubs’ southpaw kept the ball off the barrel all night and didn’t get himself into bad situations. He didn’t allow his first hit of the night until a perfectly executed hit-and-run by Brent Rooker in the fourth inning.
