The Cubs earned a rare (lately, anyway) victory to open their series against the Rockies at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon. Jameson Taillon had his biggest start of the year and Seiya Suzuki stayed red-hot to carry their team to a decisive W.
Suzuki got things started in the bottom of the 1st against Noah Davis with an RBI single. Taillon had some runners on base early but kept Colorado off the scoreboard. The Cubs’ right fielder struck again in the 4th with a two-run homer to make it a 3-0 game, giving his starter more than enough cushion as he went six scoreless innings to earn a quality start.
