Taillon delivers after Cervelli’s HR sets tone

Francisco Cervelli hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Jameson Taillon delivered seven strong innings as the Pirates spoiled the Cubs’ bid to clinch a playoff spot. Cole Hamels belted his second career homer to put the only blemish on Taillon’s night, while Pablo Reyes added an RBI single and a solo homer for the Bucs.
