Suzuki singled in the opening inning to bring home Chicago’s first run, then tagged starter Noah Davis for his 20th homer in the fourth. Young added his second home run in the sixth off reliever Gavin Hollowell and Dansby Swanson had an RBI single in the seventh off Brent Suter. Taillon allowed four hits, walked four and struck out seven to end a streak of seven winless starts. He allowed runners into scoring position in three of his first four innings but worked out of trouble each time. Drew Smyly and Hayden Wesneski worked the final three innings to finish the shutout.
Davis allowed four hits and three earned runs while walking two and striking out four in the first five innings. The last-place Rockies have lost five straight and inched closer to the club’s first-ever 100-loss season.Colorado’s Kris Bryant, one of the brightest stars on the Cubs’ 2016 world championship club, got a long enough ovation from the home crowd in his first at-bat that he paused to tip his helmet.
