Jameson Taillon somehow kept pitching after heading to the 102 MPH head

The Cubs opened the doors of their first home game in style this afternoon. They have accumulated 10 points over the Pirates in the first four innings. Jameson Taillon, the Pirates starter, was on the mound when the Cubs scored the first six goals, even though they were all eliminated as undeserved tracks. He made only two innings, which is remarkable, as Anthony Rizzo hit Taillon's lining in the lead, which was measured at 102 miles an hour. The ball seemed to take a look at the Taillon glove, although he seemed to be carrying most of his strength to the head.

The Pirates said Taillon had been evaluated by the team 's doctors, who said "everything was back to normal". It will be reevaluated tomorrow to see if there are lingering effects. After Rizzo's single has brought Ben Zobrist, Javy Baez golfed his way Kevin Newman then made a pitching error that allowed Rizzo to come home before Taillon finished the round with a strikeout.
