The Chicago Cubs have had a long history of success, and on Tuesday night they added another chapter to their story. Led by starting pitcher James Taillon, the Cubs defeated the New York Yankees 3-0 in the first win at the Bronx for the North Siders.
Taillon was dominant on the mound, allowing just one hit in six innings of work while striking out seven batters. He was backed by a strong performance from the Cubs bullpen, who shut down the Yankees for the final three innings. The Cubs offense was also able to get the job done, with Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant both hitting solo home runs in the fourth and fifth innings respectively.
The victory was a big one for the Cubs, who have struggled to find success away from Wrigley Field this season. It was also a great way for Taillon to start his Cubs career, as he was acquired in an offseason trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Taillon has been a reliable starter throughout his career, and he showed that again on Tuesday night.
The Cubs will look to build off this win and continue their winning ways as they head into the second half of the season. With Taillon leading the way, the Cubs have a great chance to make some noise in the National League Central. It was a great start to their road trip, and they will look to keep it going in the coming weeks.
