ST. LOUIS – The Cubs have started to find something in their bullpen over the last month, and after the success of the veteran relievers like Craig Kimbrel, Andrew Chafin, and Ryan Tepera, it’s been the young arms that have come up and made the biggest impact.
Left-hander Justin Steele and right-handers Keegan Thompson and Tommy Nance have come up and not only had success, but have been thrown right into the fire. Manager David Ross hasn’t been afraid to pull the trigger and put one of his rookie relievers in a high-leverage situation.
Thompson is 2-1 with a 0.
