"Jameson Taillon made his second appearance and gave up two more home runs as Colorado took a 3-0 lead after two innings. Then Cade Horton had his first outing and picked right up where he left off in 2025, putting up two scoreless frames."
"Things did not go nearly as well for lefty reliever Caleb Thielbar, who got rocked for five runs in the top of the 5th inning as the Rockies were ahead 9-0. The Cubs responded immediately with a six-spot of their own in the bottom of the frame."
"Pretty much the entire roster has seen game action at this point for the Cubs, and spring training is really kicking into gear. Horton had a strong spring debut as he looks to become a top-of-the-rotation starter this season."
The Rockies dominated the Cubs in a spring training matchup at Sloan Park, winning 14-7. Colorado built an early 9-0 lead through the fifth inning, with Jameson Taillon allowing two home runs and Caleb Thielbar surrendering five runs. Chicago mounted a comeback with a six-run fifth inning, featuring Ian Happ's two-run single and Owen Miller's two-RBI double to cut the deficit to 9-6. However, the Rockies' five-run eighth inning sealed the victory. Multiple Cubs starters made their spring debuts, including Happ, Hoerner, and Swanson, while Cade Horton impressed with two scoreless innings.
