MESA, Ariz. — Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon’s awful spring stayed that way Sunday, with a 10-run shelling from the Dodgers fraught with walks (four), homers (Mookie Betts and Jack Suwinski) and an array of Dodgers hits (eight) over 3 u2154 innings at Sloan Park.
Taillon is tinkering with minor mechanical tweaks, but with the season starting in less than two weeks, the time to use that as an excuse is running out, and he knows it.
“It’s also on me when you’re in a game to go out and compete,” said Taillon, who has been peppered for 23 hits including eight homers in 9 u2154 innings of work for a 22.
