"With a lefty, Andrew Abbott, on the mound against the Cubs tonight, Craig Counsell is rolling out his versus lefties group. That includes moving PCA down to ninth, moving Dansby Swanson up to fifth, and bringing in Matt Shaw by way of Moises Ballesteros hitting the bench."
"Jameson Taillon just keeps having the most Jameson Taillon season ever: he'll give up some runs, he'll allow some homers, but he'll also give you innings and, usually, keep you in the ballgame one way or another."
"His last start, against the Padres, was actually his best of the year: 7.0 IP, 3H, 3ER, 1BB, 6K."
The Cubs lineup for Game 2 against the Reds includes Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, and Ian Happ among others. Manager Craig Counsell adjusted the batting order due to lefty Andrew Abbott on the mound. Dansby Swanson moved up to fifth, while Pete Crow-Armstrong dropped to ninth. Matt Shaw replaces Moises Ballesteros, with Bregman getting a half-day rest. Jameson Taillon is the starting pitcher, known for giving innings while allowing runs. His last start was his best of the season, showcasing his ability to keep the team competitive.
