Steele (1-0) pitched five scoreless innings, giving up four hits and one walk while striking out five in a 9-0 win Saturday over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Steele scattered four singles and induced two double-play ground balls as he shut down the Brewers' offense. He needed 77 pitches to complete five innings and left with the Cubs leading 7-0. Last season, the lefty started his last nine appearances with mixed results. He struggled to prevent walks and home runs but limited hits and struck out more than a batter an inning as a rookie. His next start should be next weekend in Colorado.
