Justin Steele carries the Chicago Cubs to a 5-0 win with a career-best start — and puts his name firmly in the Cy Young conversation

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:51:30 GMT

Picking the best moment in Justin Steele’s start Monday against the San Francisco Giants poses a challenge.Maybe the 93.1 mph four-seam fastball Giants catcher Patrick Bailey whiffed on to end the seventh inning and surpass Steele’s previous best in strikeouts. Perhaps the stretch of 16 consecutive batters retired or never allowing a runner to get in scoring position.Eight shutout innings and 12 strikeouts, both career highs, convey Steele’s utter domination in the Chicago Cubs’ 5-0 win.With the victory, the Cubs (74-64) matched their 2022 win total and remained three games clear of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds for the second National League wild-card spot.In the last 20 years, only two Cubs pitchers had thrown at least eight scoreless innings with 12 or more strikeouts: Jake Arrieta (2014 and his 2015 no-hitter) and Ryan Dempster (2008). Ken Holtzman (1972) had been the lone Cubs lefty to do it. It’s a rare combination that has happened...

They are questioning whether their trust in the councilor was well placed. We understand and share these concerns.”Looking at its endorsement criteria, the committ...

Clutch Casas leads Red Sox to 7-3 victory, ending 13-game Tropicana Field losing streak

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:51:30 GMT

For most of the last decade, two things have been almost universally true:The Tampa Bay Rays are relentless, and the Boston Red Sox fall apart against them, especially at Tropicana Field; entering Monday’s series opener, the Red Sox were 26-49 against the Rays since the start of 2019, their most losses against any club during that span. They also arrived with a 13-game losing streak at the American League’s southernmost ballpark.But that was then; this is the Triston Casas era.On Monday afternoon, the 23-year-old rookie again put his team on his back, going 2-for-4 with a go-ahead home run, two runs, and four RBI in the Red Sox’s 7-3 come-from-behind victory.“It was a good overall game,” the always-modest Casas told NESN’s Jahmai Webster.Boston’s 72nd win of the season was a true team effort, but early on, it looked like this would be just another notch in their losing streak at the Trop. While Rays starter Aaron Civale mowed down the visiting lineup, Brayan Bello faced six ba...
