DETROIT – Cubs starter Jameson Taillon’s cutter to the Tigers’ Kerry Carpenter wasn’t a bad pitch. It stayed low and crossed the plate on the inside third of the strike zone. But it wasn’t quite where Taillon wanted it.
“Probably just a little more up,” Taillon said. “I think [catcher Yan Gomes] actually called it up and in. And we know he’s feeling really good up there right now. He was probably going to be aggressive and look to do damage with runners on. So it’s one of those things where, you obviously never want to walk a guy, but maybe just be a little more careful right there.”
