Jameson Taillon's first season with the Chicago Cubs continues to be a struggle.
It could get even more frustrating if the Cleveland Guardians' offense shows up on Sunday -- as it did in the middle contest of the weekend's three-game set at Chicago -- when Taillon will look to avoid losing his third straight start.
However, he has allowed nine runs and 15 hits over 10 1/3 innings in his past two starts -- both losses -- since then. He gave up five of those runs, and seven hits, in five innings of a 5-1 home loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday. Taillon will hope he doesn't have another rough outing at Wrigley Field, where he's 1-4 with a 7.44 ERA in seven starts this season. He's 1-2 with a 3.94 ERA during his career against Cleveland, which rebounded from Friday's 10-1 series-opening defeat to win 6-0 on Saturday.
Amed Rosario had two RBIs and is batting .344 with seven runs driven home in his last 15 contests. With two hits Saturday, Cleveland star Jose Ramirez is hitting .398 with seven home runs and 22 RBIs in his last 21 games. However, he's 1-for-7 against Taillon.
