Cubs starter Marcus Stroman already is showing up on baseball pundits’ lists of possible trade targets for contenders this summer.
“We needed that,” Ross said, citing a short bullpen and Stroman’s impressive Houdini act in the seventh, when he pitched around and error and left the bases loaded by retiring the final two batters on a strikeout and line-out.Stroman, who went 18 days between starts because of a stretch on the COVID-19-related injured list, was making his third start back from the weeklong bout and said he’s still not at full effectiveness.
Maybe that's why he's also starting to show up on lists of players around the league who might be available in trades this summer. He also made one of the top two defensive plays in the game, showing how he won a 2017 Gold Glove, when he pounced on a Danny Mendick bunt in the sixth and threw to third for the first out of the inning to help preserve a 1-0 lead.
Centerfielder Chris Morel had the only play in the game better, crashing into the wall to rob Jake Burger of extra bases for the second out of the eighth, then unleashing a strong throw to second to keep the runner from advancing.
