CHICAGO – The Cubs’ injury-marred rotation has a few returning arms on the horizon, but the ballclub needs steady hands in the meantime. On Sunday afternoon, Hayden Wesneski delivered for the North Siders.

Wesneski worked into the seventh and guided the Cubs to a 5-0 victory over the Angels at Wrigley Field, helping Chicago win the series against Los Angeles. That marked only the second series win for the Cubs in their past seven sets.

After allowing a single to Brandon Drury in the first inning, Wesneski held the Angels’ lineup to an 0-for-18 showing over the remainder of his outing. The right-hander’s 6 1/3 scoreless frames matched his career best for most innings with no runs allowed -- something he also achieved on May 3 against the Brewers.

Wesneski moved to the rotation from the Cubs’ bullpen in the wake of injuries to starters Jordan Wicks, Ben Brown and Javier Assad, who are all on the injured list. Assad could return as soon as the upcoming road trip, while Brown is on target for later this month. Wicks’ timeline is less clear, but he is currently rehabbing at the team’s site in Arizona.

Chicago’s offense backed Wesneski’s effort with three runs off Angels starter José Soriano. Miguel Amaya (RBI single) and Nico Hoerner (sac fly) came through in the third, and Michael Busch brought a run home on a double play in the fifth. Busch then belted a two-run homer off L.A. reliever Matt Moore in the seventh.
