MESA, Arizona — The Cubs couldn’t quite match their Friday no-hitter feat Saturday afternoon at Sloan Park, but Jameson Taillon and six Cubs relievers did nearly as well, scattering five hits and two walks in a 2-0 shutout of the Angels.
Or, some of the Angels. Every time the Angels come to Sloan Park I hope they’ll bring Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, but they never do. We will see them soon enough, as the Cubs will visit Anaheim for a regular-season series in June.
Taillon was sharp, retiring the first six Angels before a leadoff single in the third.
