Cubs starter Jameson Taillon remembers coming to Wrigley Field as a visitor as a starter on the small-market Pirates to play those star-studded Cubs teams.
Those Cubs teams had the sluggers to turn close games into blowouts and the pitching to keep opposing offenses at bay. Coming to Wrigley was anything but friendly for the Pirates or most National League Central teams.
“We were the little guys coming in here and they were playing bully ball against us a little bit,” said Taillon, who threw six scoreless innings with four strikeouts and two walks in Friday’s 3-1 win over the Nationals.
