Although the Cubs’ bats didn’t match the moment (how many times have we heard that the last couple months?), Shōta Imanaga was outstanding yesterday. He deserves a mention.
Over his seven innings, Imanaga allowed two runs on just three hits and two walks, and he struck out five.
The start was Shōta Imanaga’s fourth straight going over six innings, and his fifth straight great outing ever since that weird blow-up against the White Sox.
His performance continued a trend among the starters that goes back a long way. As The Athletic summed it up: “Since June 25, Cubs starters have a 3.02 ERA, best in baseball. The next closest staff, the Boston Red Sox, is at 3.31.” (I have that second place team as – of course – the Brewers, at 3.28, but that might just be a lag in the data in one direction or the other. The point still stands.)
That’s nearly two full months of the Cubs having the best-performing starting rotation in baseball by a lot. It sucks that it has been largely contemporaneous with the offense and the bullpen having a bottom-ten performance, but at least the starting pitching is pulling its weight.
