The 20-year-old Chourio, who was hitting .312
with three homers and 13 RBIs over his previous 20 games, then
sent a 1-2 pitch 377 feet to left for his ninth homer.
Milwaukee starter Colin Rea (7-2) allowed two runs on three hits
in 5 1/3 innings, striking out a season-high eight, with two
walks and two hit batters to win his fourth straight decision.
Taillon (4-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits in
six innings, striking out five and walking one for Chicago,
which has lost five of its past six.
Chicago loaded the bases in the seventh on a walk and two
infield singles off Elvis Peguero, but Jared Koenig came on and
got pinch hitter Patrick Wisdom on an inning-ending flyout to
center.
Koenig struck out the side in the eighth and Trevor Megill
finished with a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18
opportunities.
The Cubs took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth. Seiya Suzuki
had a one-out solo homer, his 10th. Ian Happ doubled,
Christopher Morel was hit by a pitch and Dansby Swanson followed
with an RBI single to left.
Rea escaped further damage by inducing a double-play grounder by
Pete Crow-Armstrong to end the inning.
