PHOENIX – Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon could not crack the Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suárez.
In the Cubs’ 0-1 loss Friday, Taillon faced Suárez twice, and both times the veteran right-handed hitter launched two-run home runs into the left-field stands.
Taillon, making his season debut, was charged with six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. Most of the damage against him was courtesy of Suárez.
