PITTSBURGH — The Cubs have gone all season without a consistent left-handed option out of the bullpen. Drew Smyly’s move to the pen might have solved that problem.
‘‘It’s like I never left, I guess,’’ quipped Smyly, who made a start Tuesday in Detroit after three bullpen outings. ‘‘I get it. I haven’t been doing my job as a starter. So there’s nothing I can say or any type of way I can feel about it.’’
