## Resource

Cubs fall again, losing 2-1 to the A’s despite Jameson Taillon’s strong outing—six innings, just two runs—but offense can’t deliver, leaving runners stranded and going 17 straight outs. Baserunning blunders squander rallies early, and even with a solid bullpen and a late-inning chance, they can’t crack the scoreboard. Taillon’s best start of the season isn’t enough when the bats stay silent. The division gap widens—this team needs to start scoring when their pitchers are on fire.
