The changeup’s kind of a new weapon for me,” Taillon said after the Cubs’ 14-1 win Tuesday against the Marlins. “I’ve rarely thrown it in two-strike counts, just in my career.

With Porter Hodge unavailable because of a left oblique issue that will land him on the injured list, manager Craig Counsell turned to Palencia to close out the ninth inning Monday at LoanDepot Park. The 25-year-old hard-throwing right-hander retired the first two batters he faced and went ahead 0-2 on No. 8 hitter Derek Hill when he hung a slider.
A fielding error was the opportunity the Chicago Cubs needed. The Cubs and Miami Marlins each scored a run in the first inning to open Wednesday’s series finale, which held as the game’s lone runs until the eighth.
For the second straight game, the Cubs used a massive sixth-inning outburst to turn the tide against the Marlins at loanDepot park. Their offensive eruption on Tuesday night, though, was different from the previous night’s.
