Things were not looking good for the Cubs at Wrigley on Tuesday night, as they trailed in the middle innings to the Nationals for a second consecutive game. Just as the frustration was reaching its peak, Chicago absolutely exploded and decimated Washington’s bullpen to roll to their biggest win of the season.
Jameson Taillon struggled in the first couple of innings, falling behind 3-0 on a Lane Thomas solo home run and a two-run single from Corey Dickerson. The Cubs starter settled down after that and kept the Nats off the scoreboard the rest of his outing.
