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

DENVER – Cubs outfielder Ian Happ slowed as he approached the warning track, positioned under Rockies star Kris Bryant’s fly ball in the gap. 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 fifth inning Wednesday.The Cubs would go on to lose 7-3 to the Rockies.

Denver had already tied up the game against Cubs starter Jameson Taillon, on a two-run home run by Nolan Jones.
