HOUSTON — Like any competitor, Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon was prepared to stay in the game longer Monday. But he said he understood manager David Ross’ decision to pull him with two outs in the fifth inning.
The Cubs went on to lose to the Astros 6-4 after reliever Michael Fulmer gave up a two-run home run in the seventh, which fueled disgruntled Cubs fans’ ire on Twitter. Ultimately, however, no one decision cost the Cubs the game.
