Jameson Taillon made a cautious return to the mound for the Cubs after a hamstring injury, aiming to limit his pitch count and refine his mechanics to curb the home runs that’ve haunted him this season. But disaster struck early—four runs in the first five batters, including two homers, sent the game spiraling. Taillon settled down, retiring 12 of the next 13 batters, but the Cubs’ offense rallied with three homers of their own, tying the game in the eighth. In the ninth, a bases-loaded jam ended with two strikeouts, sending it to extra innings. The Tigers scored three in the 10th, and the Cubs couldn’t respond, falling 8-6. Taillon admitted he’s relieved to get innings but frustrated by the early damage. Meanwhile, reliever Phil Maton’s knee woes have returned, pushing him back to the IL for the third time this season, with manager Craig Counsell hinting at a potentially long absence.
