• Astros 2, Cubs 0: Jameson Taillon threw 107 pitches. A bad one cost them the game

Erik Williams-Imagn Images ... and that, as they say, was that. What an odd little game this was, the Cubs’ 2-0 loss to the Astros Sunday afternoon. Of course, you’re not going to win many games when you have just six hits and go 1-for-9 with RISP. But what I also want to talk about is Jameson Taillon’s outing. He threw a ridiculous number of pitches in the first inning alone, 30 in all. S...2025
