Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Lasts four innings in Game 3
Jameson Taillon took a no-decision against the Brewers in Game 3 of the NLDS on Wednesday after giving up two earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three batters over four innings.The Brewers jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly courtesy of Sal Frelick, but a four-run outburst from the Chicago's offense in the first inning gave Taillon and the Chicago Cubs all the runs they would need to prevail in Wednesday's contest. The right-hander's pitch count had climbed to 75 by the end of the fourth, so manager Craig Counsell pulled the plug early on his start, preventing him from leaving the ballpark with a win. If the Cubs are able to complete the series comeback, Taillon would likely be granted another start during the NLCS.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Tough-luck loser Sunday
Jameson Taillon (10-7) allowed just one run on five hits across seven innings but took the loss Sunday against the Reds. He had no walks and struck out four.A Gavin Lux double in the third inning brought home the only run of the game and left Taillon with a tough-luck loss. Despite not getting the outcome he wanted, the veteran righty at least continued to pitch well after missing a few weeks with a strained left groin. In three starts since coming off the injured list on Sept. 10, Taillon has allowed just three runs across 17.1 innings. He'll carry a 3.78 ERA overall into his next scheduled start, which is slated to come in Chicago's regular-season finale on Sept. 28. Taillon could then slot into the Chicago Cubs' postseason rotation, though he's likely the fourth option behind Shota Imanaga, Matthew Boyd and Cade Horton, which could push the former into a long-relief role instead.

Prior to being activated, Taillon tossed 3.2 innings and 68 pitches in a rehab start with Iowa on Thursday, so his workload could be somewhat suppressed as he makes his 20th appearance of the season for the big club.
