Votto gets 2,000th hit, Reds hand Cubs 12th straight loss

Jonathan India slammed a two-run homer and had five RBIs as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 14-5

Tagged with second loss Steele (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits across four innings to take the loss Monday against the Reds. He walked three and struck out five.
Impact Steele did a decent job of limiting Cincinnati's offensive output, but the lefty was far from dominant as he allowed an average of two baserunners per inning. The Cubs decided to pull him after 82 pitches and his four innings of work, and then the bullpen allowed 12 more runs in the next four innings. Steele has now made two starts for Chicago, allowing five runs across nine innings while striking out six. Those numbers don't jump off the page, but with Jake Arrieta gone and Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) on the injured list, Steele doesn't have a ton of competition for a rotation spot at the moment. He's projected to start again Sunday against the Royals and will attempt to work a little bit deeper into the contest.

Sticking in rotation Steele will make his second turn through the Chicago rotation Monday in Cincinnati.
Impact After spending most of the past month at Triple-A Iowa getting stretched out for starting duty, Steele was summoned to the Cubs to make his first MLB start in a doubleheader versus Milwaukee on Aug. 10. He limited the Brewers to three runs on five hits and a walk over five frames, but he struck out only one batter and surrendered two home runs. Steele was already expected to stick around with the Cubs as part of a six-man rotation, but his starting role became even more secure after Chicago released Jake Arrieta and after Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) was moved to the IL. Look for the Cubs to give Steele a evaluation as a starter over the final six weeks of the season as the rebuilding club looks to see if he's a long-term piece in the rotation.

Hurt by long ball Tuesday Steele (2-1) took the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings as the Cubs fell 4-2. He...
Impact The 26-year-old southpaw held Milwaukee in check for three innings in his first start in the majors, but a pair of homers in the fourth by Willy Adames and Avisail Garcia wound up begin the difference in the afternoon affair. Steele has only been tagged for six runs in his first 18.1 big-league innings across 12 appearances, leading to a 2.95 ERA, but they've all come on long balls. If he stays with the Cubs he'll likely return to the bullpen after this outing, but having thrown 70 pitches (43 strikes), he should be unavailable for a few days and could be demoted back to Triple-A Iowa to make way for a fresh arm.

Brewers score 6 in 5th, beat Cubs 6-3 for DH sweep

Luis UrĂ­as had two hits during a six-run, fifth-inning rally as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 6-3 Tuesday night to complete a doubleheader sweep
AUGUST 10, 2021 • Associated Press
Called up ahead of start Steele was called up as expected ahead of his start in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Steele has made 11 big-league appearances already this season, though they all came in relief. He owns a 2.03 ERA in 13.1 innings of work, backed by an excellent 37.5 percent strikeout rate and 73.1 percent groundball rate. The lefty should have a shot to pitch fairly deep into the game if things are going well for him, as he's been stretching out in the minors and has reached five innings in both of his last two starts.

Will start first game Tuesday Steele is set to be recalled from Triple-A Iowa and start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers with Alec Mills getting the nightcap after Monday's contest w...
Impact It was previously reported that Steele would get the call from Triple-A Iowa to make his first MLB start Tuesday, but he'll now be doing so in a seven-inning game versus a nine-inning contest. The 26-year-old worked exclusively in relief while with the Cubs earlier in the season though he's been starting recently in Iowa, so he should be at least somewhat stretched out. Steele last started on Wednesday, when he allowed one earned run across five innings with eight strikeouts. It's unclear if he'll receive any more MLB starts beyond Tuesday, but he has a chance to stay in the rotation if he impresses. At the very least, Steele should be able to stick in the Cubs' bullpen as a long reliever given his 2.03 ERA, 1,05 WHIP and 21 strikeouts across 13.1 innings for Chicago this season.

Impact Steele excelled across 11 relief appearances with the Cubs earlier this season (2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 21:7 K:BB in 13.1 innings), but the organization still wants to develop the 26-year-old lefty as a starter in the long term. Since being reinstated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A in early July, Steele has impressed in his five starts for Iowa, compiling an 0.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 across 20.2 innings. The Cubs haven't indicated whether Steele will receive any additional starts beyond Tuesday, so he may need to turn in a quality outing against the Brewers to ensure he sticks in the rotation.

Adbert Alzolay, Justin Steele and the evaluations the Cubs are making with so much flexibility heading into 2022 The remaining 50 games will give the Cubs an opportunity to get a better sense of the two starting pitchers as they shape their future.
