CLEVELAND – The Cubs’ momentum from the previous week didn’t carry over into Cleveland, where the team lost 6-1 on Wednesday to complete a sweep at the hands of the Guardians.

“Lost three, now we have to punch back,” said Cubs starter Jameson Taillon, who allowed four runs in six innings Wednesday. “And it feels like that’s kind of been the story of the season. So hopefully we can punch back and not turn, like these three into something bigger.”

It was the first time the Cubs had been swept in a series of at least three games this season, a stretch that dates back to Sept.
