Cubs starter Marcus Stroman was one of the best pitchers in the National League early in the year. But he’s hit a rough patch, and his struggles extended through the Cubs’ 6-5 loss to the Reds on Monday.

He allowed six runs in three innings. He hasn’t pitched past the fourth inning in three straight starts. Stroman left without speaking to the media after the game, but his past comments shed light on what he’s been working on during this stretch.

“Ever since London, I’ve been off slightly mechanically,” Stroman said after his previous outing.
