CHICAGO — Justin Steele pitched a two-hitter for his first career complete game, Seiya Suzuki homered and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1. Steele dazzled in his first victory in 13 starts this season. The left-hander threw 95 pitches, striking out seven and walking two, while lowering his ERA from 3.20 to 2.95. The Cubs won their second straight after losing eight of 10. The Angels dropped their fifth in a row since a season-high six-game win streak. Steele missed six weeks this season after straining his left hamstring in the opener. He hadn't received much run support since his return.
