Strong in no-decision Steele allowed an unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.
Impact Steele posted his second quality start in a row, but he didn't get enough run support while in the game to collect the win. The southpaw has allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 43.2 innings across his last seven starts, but a pair of five-run outings have affected those numbers. For the year, Steele is at a 3.16 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 112:31 K:BB through 114 innings over 19 starts. He's projected to make his next outing at home versus the Blue Jays.

Handles Cardinals for third win Steele (3-5) got the win over the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six in 6.2 innings.
Impact Steele and the Cubs went down 2-0 in the third after Masyn Winn opened up the scoring with a two-run blast to left. That was only damage Steele would permit, and he was dominant otherwise, retiring 12 straight batters between the third and seventh innings. Steele has now given up a home run in back-to-back outings, but Sunday was his first start surpassing six innings since he did it July 11. The 28-year-old lefty owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 104:29 K:BB in 108 innings and lines up for a matchup against the reeling White Sox his next time on the mound.

Roughed up by Reds Steele (2-5) took the loss Tuesday against Cincinnati, allowing five runs on six hits at four walks across five innings. He struck out seven.
Impact Three of the six hits Steele allowed Tuesday went for extra bases, including a two-run home run by Santiago Espinal in the second inning. Tuesday's outing marked Steele's second time allowing five runs in his last three starts, a stretch in which he's also walked nine batters in 15 innings. On the year, Steele has a 3.38 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP across 101.1 innings. The left-hander is on track to close out a two-start week Sunday against the Cardinals.

Fans four in no-decision Steele did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers, allowing two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings.
Impact Steele came out of the All-Star break flat, yielding five earned runs on nine hits in his previous start. Wednesday's outing was certainly an improvement, but his 4:3 K:BB was underwhelming, especially compared to his pre-intermission production. In nine starts leading up to the All-Star break, Steele dazzled with a 1.48 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and a 58:12 K:BB ratio in 61 innings. The southpaw will look to find his form in his next start, currently scheduled for early next week in Cincinnati.

Stumbles vs. Arizona Steele (2-4) took the loss Friday against the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
Impact It was a tough start to the second half for Steele, who allowed a season-high nine hits en route to his first loss since June 7. The left-hander delivered seven straight quality starts prior to the All-Star break, posting a stellar 1.65 ERA in that span (49 innings). Steele's ERA now sits at 3.07 with a 1.02 WHIP and 87:20 K:BB across 15 starts (91 innings) this season. He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against Milwaukee.

Impressive again Thursday Steele (2-3) earned the win over Baltimore on Thursday, pitching seven scoreless innings during which he gave up three hits and issued no walks while striking out four batters.
Impact Steele shut down a potent Orioles lineup, retiring the first 11 batters he faced and allowing just three baserunners (all on doubles) overall. The left-hander couldn't get into the win column over his first 12 starts but has now notched consecutive victories, allowing just one run over 16 innings while posting an 11:2 K:BB during that stretch. Steele's excellence extends further than that -- he's posted seven straight quality starts, registering a 1.65 ERA and 45:7 K:BB across 49 frames over that span.

Throws complete game for first win Steele (1-3) earned the win against the Angels on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over nine innings.
Impact Steele needed just 95 pitches to toss his first career complete game. The only blemish was an RBI single by Taylor Ward in the fifth, but the lefty responded by retiring 13 consecutive batters to seal his much overdue first win of the year. The 29-year-old has logged six straight quality starts and owns a 2.95 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB over 79.1 innings this season. He lines up for a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

Logs quality start in no-decision Steele allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five batters over six innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Saturday.
Impact Steele gave up a pair of runs in the third inning and another in the fourth but finished his outing by retiring seven straight batters. The southpaw stuck around just long enough to notch his fifth straight quality start, though this was his least impressive appearance during that span. Over the five-game stretch, Steele has posted a 2.18 ERA and 34:5 K:BB over 33 innings, but he doesn't have a win to show for that success.
