Cubs Down Rays, 2-0
Starting pitcher Justin Steele took care of business, helping the Chicago Cubs stifle the Tampa Bay Rays, 2-0. Steele, now 6-5, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing no runs. Adbert Alzolay, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 21st save.

The Rays had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Cubs going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old shortstop Dansby Swanson came to the plate. Swanson hit a solo home run on a 1-1 fastball from Tampa Bay hurler Shane McClanahan. It was Swanson's 9th home run of the year.

"Glad to go home with a win," said Steele.

Today's win puts Chicago at 37-33, while Tampa Bay falls to 45-24.
