Taillon, Swanson lead Cubs to to take 2-1 win over Padres
"That is the best I have seen him I think since spring training - on the attack," Cubs manager David Ross said of Taillon."I thought he did spectacular - it is as good as I've seen him."
Padres starter Michael Wacha struggled with control, issuing five walks in 4 2/3 innings. He gave up two runs and three hits while striking out eight. San Diego finally broke through against Taillon in the sixth after Rougned Odor led off with a double and scored Fernando Tatis Jr.'s slow infield dribbler hugging the third-base line. Odor left the game after a single in the eighth with a left groin strain.
