The Cubs evened things up last night behind another sterling performance by Cade Horton and a late rally the likes of which have been few and far between in the second half. Their path to a series victory is blocked by a very formidable opponent tonight, but they have to prove they can beat good pitching if they want to win in the postseason. Getting a solid start from Jameson Taillon in his return from a second trip to the IL will be huge.
Taillon was in his second start back from a calf strain that sidelined him for nearly two months when groin tightness forced him out of the game.
