The Cubs got blown out in the series opener thanks to a quartet of two-run homers by the home team. Ben Brown was responsible for all of them and earned a trip to Des Moines as a result. The Cubs will continue looking for rotation help, but activating Shu014dta Imanaga from the IL will give them boost in the meantime. Now they just need to focus on winning games.
Jameson Taillon has done that for the most part lately, racking up five wins in a row while allowing just seven runs over 33 innings.
