Chicago Cubs<\/a> rookie Cade Horton twirled another gem on Tuesday night \u2013 this time, at the expense of the Pittsburgh Pirates.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old righty lasted five innings and allowed one run on three hits. He struck out six Pirates batters, and the Cubs went on to win the game 4-1. Horton improved to 8-1 since the All-Star break and has become increasingly reliable someone Chicago can count on in big games.<\/p>\n

Horton also accomplished a feat not seen since Baseball Hall of Famer Bob Gibson did it in 1968 with the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Horton being 8-1 in his last 11 starts, he\u2019s only allowed six runs in that span. Opta Stats<\/a> noted that only Gibson had eight or more wins and six or fewer runs in an 11-start span in a single season in the modern baseball era. He did it in 1968.<\/p>\n

Gibson, of course, had one of the most dominant seasons ever in 1968. He had 268 strikeouts, a 1.12 ERA and 13 complete games. He won the National League Cy Young award and the National League MVP award that year.<\/p>\n

Horton isn\u2019t likely to win those types of accolades this season. In 21 starts this year, he has a 2.66 ERA with 95 strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Chicago improved to 87-64 with the win over the Pirates. The Cubs are five games behind the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> for the National League Central lead and are nine games up on the San Diego Padres for the first NL Wildcard berth.<\/p>\n
