Jameson Taillon And Cubs Defense Force Game Four vs Brewers In NLDS

Taillon stayed on the mound for four full innings while allowing only two runs (his only two of the postseason) paired with three strikeouts. The Brewers were never able to get going and the Cubs never had to climb out of a massive hole.

After spectacular outings by both Taillon and the bullpen, the Cubs were able to oust the Brewers in a 4-3 victory. They finally contained the bats of the Brewers and will now play a game four in the ALDS.

Crucial Points in Game Three

The first inning has been full of offense for both teams this series and that included this game. Michael Busch started with a 377 foot bomb and then Pete Crow-Armstrong finally made contact for a two-run single. PCA wasn't done yet, though. Immediately following his at-bat he was able to steal second after a wild pitch which also got Ian Happ across home plate.

The offense significantly slowed down from that point on and it was the defense that kept the Cubs in the game from both the field and the mound. The Cubs dipped heavily into their bullpen which is concerning for game four, but that is a problem for tomorrow.

The Brewers made everybody cheering for the Cubs' incredibly nervous when they loaded the bases at the top of the eighth and were only down one run. Somehow, though, the Cubs got out of that mess without allowing a run.

The Cubs will be back at Wrigley after winning their second game this postseason when facing elimination. Now the question is who will start game four, another elimination game.
