Every week the Cubs move closer to the Aug. 1 trade deadline, time ticks down on the decision the front office must make on Marcus Stroman’s future.
The Cubs ended their four-game losing streak Friday night against the San Francisco Giants with a 3-2 victory behind Stroman’s major-league best 12th quality start and Nico Hoerner’s clutch two-run single off the bench in the seventh.“He knows what he wants to do, doesn’t give in, stubborn to what he does well,” manager David Ross said of Stroman."Every time he takes the bump, and even in the big moments when he knows we need a ‘W,’ he’s really calm out there and continues to perform.
The Cubs have won five straight games by Stroman, four of which had been preceded by a team loss. Knowing the consistency they will get nearly every time he’s on the mound this year has been hugely important for a team trying to get on track. His performance has taken some“I’m just a product of my preparation and my work,” Stroman said. “So I wouldn’t consider myself a ‘stopper,’ but if that’s labeled, I guess that’s something good to be labeled as.
Hoerner had a rare chance to take in Stroman’s start the dugout and see how the pitcher operates from a different angle.
