Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon was charged with three earned runs in five innings against the Rockies on Wednesday.

DENVER — Cubs left fielder Ian Happ slowed as he approached the warning track and positioned himself under Rockies star Kris Bryant’s fly to left-center. But when Happ made his final move to secure the ball, it glanced off his glove.

Bryant trotted into second base, extending what ended up being a game-turning, four-run fifth inning Wednesday. The Cubs would go on to lose to the Rockies 7-3.

The Rockies already had tied the score against starter Jameson Taillon on a two-run home run by Nolan Jones.
