Bellinger extended his career-high hitting
streak to 13 games after going 4-for-4 Thursday in Milwaukee.
Besides hitting his ninth homer, Bellinger singled, stole second
and scored on a double by Patrick Wisdom in the seventh.
Taillon (3-6) returned to Yankee Stadium after winning 22 games
for the Yankees over the previous two seasons.
He allowed a single to Gleyber Torres two batters in and then
retired 13 straight before walking Billy McKinney with two outs
in the fifth. He allowed his third baserunner when Giancarlo
Stanton walked in the seventh but ended the inning by getting
Harrison Bader to hit into a double play.
Taillon then got three easy groundouts in the eighth. He struck
out four, walked two and threw 102 pitches, two shy of his
season high.
Alzolay allowed a leadoff single to Franchy Cordero, got Anthony
Volpe on a double play and struck out Torres to secure his sixth
save in seven chances.
After Rodon got five outs in the air over the first two innings,
Bellinger blasted a fastball about halfway up the second deck in
right for a 1-0 lead to open the third.
Rodon issued two walks in the fifth and Hoerner stroked a single
to right that scored Trey Mancini. Bellinger opened the seventh
with a single off Ron Marinaccio, stole second and came home on
Wisdom's double to left.
The Cubs won for the fourth time in their past 12 games and won
for the fifth time in 20 all-time regular season meetings with
the Yankees.
The Yankees heard boos at various points, lost their third
straight and avoided getting one-hit at home for the first time
since June 30, 2007 against Oakland.
