The Chicago Cubs were again on the wrong end of a vital game Wednesday at Truist Park, losing 6-5 in 10 innings after twice failing to maintain a one-run lead in the ninth and 10th innings.
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon delivers to an Atlanta Braves batter in the first inning on Sept. 27, 2023, in Atlanta.And again they were on the wrong end of a vital game Wednesday at Truist Park, losing 6-5 in 10 innings after twice failing to maintain a one-run lead in the ninth and 10th innings.Marcell Ozuna slugged the tying solo home run off right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. with one out in the ninth in the right-handed reliever’s first appearance in a week.
The sequence ended Jameson Taillon’s final regular-season start, but Smyly ensured the game did not get away from the Cubs in that situation. Smyly retired the next three Atlanta hitters — Michael Harris II , Sean Murphy and Kevin Pillar — to escape with the Cubs’ one-run lead intact. Taillon had been on cruise control most of the night. He held the explosive Braves offense to two runs on three hits, including a home run by Albies that gave Atlanta a first-inning lead. After a dreadful first three months to his Cubs career, Taillon posted a 3.53 ERA over his final 15 starts .
The Cubs caught a break to tie the game in the second. A ball was clearly fouled off Jeimer Candelario’s bat, but home plate umpire Shane Livensparger missed it and while play was live Cody Bellinger scored from third. The umpires met to discuss it, but the call stood as a passed ball and the run scored. The play could not be reviewed. Braves manager Brian Snitker was ejected for arguing the call.
Home runs by Mike Tauchman, his first since Aug. 8, and Ian Happ in the third off Braves starter Darius Vines had originally put the Cubs ahead 3-1.
