The Cubs made a flurry of deals before Monday’s Trade Deadline, and one of Jed Hoyer’s primary aims was to add quality starting pitching to the team.
And in acquiring Kevin Gausman, he appears to have done so. Gausman was as advertised (after a bit of a shaky first inning), throwing seven strong innings and allowing two runs, helping lead the Cubs to a 6-4 win over the Royals, their fifth straight victory.
That first inning for the Cubs’ new right-hander included a walk and then a single by Salvador Perez that went off Gausman’s foot for a hit. A double by Isaac Collins scored a run to give KC a 1-0 lead.
Gausman stayed in the game and after that was nails, including four strikeouts and inducing weak contact on his excellent splitter.
The Cubs then put together a four-run rally in the second that began with two out and no one on base. Carson Kelly and Pedro Ramirez singled and Dansby Swanson walked to load the bases.
Pete Crow-Armstrong then singled and two runs scored .whose hit scored both to make it 4-1 Alex Bregman’s single scored PCA to make it 5-2 .Pedro Ramirez’s second home run of the year Here’s the final out .He struck out four .Here’s more on Gausman’s outing, in which he threw mostly splitters .
Kevin Gausman is the first pitcher to go 7+ IP in a Cubs debut since José Quintana 7/16/2017

Here are some postgame comments from the new Cubs right-hander .And here are Craig Counsell’s postgame remarks .
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.
The Cubs will go for the series win Saturday evening in Kansas City, and also their sixth win in a row. Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his Cubs debut and Seth Lugo will go for the Royals. Game time is 6:10 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.

The Twins beat the Brewers Friday (thanks Twins!), so the Cubs picked up a game in the NL Central standings. More from BCB’s JohnW53:
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.

Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.

With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.
The Cubs will go for the series win Saturday evening in Kansas City, and also their sixth win in a row. Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his Cubs debut and Seth Lugo will go for the Royals. Game time is 6:10 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.

The Twins beat the Brewers Friday (thanks Twins!), so the Cubs picked up a game in the NL Central standings. More from BCB’s JohnW53:
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.
Jacob Webb, who’s been just outstanding since being nominally made the Cubs’ closer, retired the Royals in order in the ninth for save number 7.

Here are some postgame comments from the new Cubs right-hander .And here are Craig Counsell’s postgame remarks .
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.

After that Gausman was just nails. He did serve up a home run ball to Carter Jensen in the sixth that made it 4-2, but otherwise wound up retiring 19 of the last 21 Royals he faced.
The Cubs got Gausman an additional run in the top of the seventh. PCA led off with a walk and one out later, moved to second on a wild pitch.
Alex Bregman’s single scored PCA to make it 5-2 .Pedro Ramirez’s second home run of the year Here’s the final out .He struck out four .Here’s more on Gausman’s outing, in which he threw mostly splitters .

The Twins beat the Brewers Friday (thanks Twins!), so the Cubs picked up a game in the NL Central standings. More from BCB’s JohnW53:
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.
Jacob Webb, who’s been just outstanding since being nominally made the Cubs’ closer, retired the Royals in order in the ninth for save number 7.
Here’s the final out .He struck out four .Here’s more on Gausman’s outing, in which he threw mostly splitters .

The Twins beat the Brewers Friday (thanks Twins!), so the Cubs picked up a game in the NL Central standings. More from BCB’s JohnW53:
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.

Here are some postgame comments from the new Cubs right-hander .And here are Craig Counsell’s postgame remarks .
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.

With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.
The Cubs will go for the series win Saturday evening in Kansas City, and also their sixth win in a row. Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his Cubs debut and Seth Lugo will go for the Royals. Game time is 6:10 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.

The Twins beat the Brewers Friday (thanks Twins!), so the Cubs picked up a game in the NL Central standings. More from BCB’s JohnW53:
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.

With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.
The Cubs will go for the series win Saturday evening in Kansas City, and also their sixth win in a row. Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his Cubs debut and Seth Lugo will go for the Royals. Game time is 6:10 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.
Jacob Webb, who’s been just outstanding since being nominally made the Cubs’ closer, retired the Royals in order in the ninth for save number 7.
Here’s the final out .He struck out four .Here’s more on Gausman’s outing, in which he threw mostly splitters .
Kevin Gausman is the first pitcher to go 7+ IP in a Cubs debut since José Quintana 7/16/2017

After that Gausman was just nails. He did serve up a home run ball to Carter Jensen in the sixth that made it 4-2, but otherwise wound up retiring 19 of the last 21 Royals he faced.
The Cubs got Gausman an additional run in the top of the seventh. PCA led off with a walk and one out later, moved to second on a wild pitch.
Alex Bregman’s single scored PCA to make it 5-2 .Pedro Ramirez’s second home run of the year Here’s the final out .He struck out four .Here’s more on Gausman’s outing, in which he threw mostly splitters .

With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.
The Cubs will go for the series win Saturday evening in Kansas City, and also their sixth win in a row. Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his Cubs debut and Seth Lugo will go for the Royals. Game time is 6:10 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.
Jacob Webb, who’s been just outstanding since being nominally made the Cubs’ closer, retired the Royals in order in the ninth for save number 7.
Here’s the final out .He struck out four .Here’s more on Gausman’s outing, in which he threw mostly splitters .

The Twins beat the Brewers Friday (thanks Twins!), so the Cubs picked up a game in the NL Central standings. More from BCB’s JohnW53:
With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.

The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.

Caleb Thielbar then entered the game for the bottom of the eighth and had another rough outing. He allowed three hits and two runs and Trent Thornton had to come in to keep the score at 6-4.

With their win and the Brewers’ loss to the Twins, the Cubs are 4.5 games out of first place. They had not been fewer than five games back since May 30, when they trailed by four games following a 6-1 win at St. Louis. They have played 58 games since then, going 36-22. Their biggest deficit was eight games, the last time on June 17, when they were 39-36 after an 8-6 win at home over the Rockies.
……..
Friday night’s win was the Cubs’ fifth in a row. They also won five straight June 27-July 1: two games at Milwaukee, then three at home vs. the Padres. Those are the Cubs’ only streaks of more than four wins except their pair of 10-game streaks, April 14-24 and April 29-May 8.
…..
The Cubs have erased deficits in each of the five consecutive wins. They have erased 51 different deficits in 48 different games. They are 35-13 in those games and have won eight straight, 10 of 12 and 20 of 22 starting June 11, the day they began their 34-15 surge.
The Cubs will go for the series win Saturday evening in Kansas City, and also their sixth win in a row. Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his Cubs debut and Seth Lugo will go for the Royals. Game time is 6:10 p.m. CT and TV coverage will be via Marquee Sports Network.
