2023-07-08
Arr, me hearty, the Chicago Cubs be claimin' their first-ever victory at Yankee Stadium on a fine Friday. Aye, they be a bunch of scurvy dogs, 0-12 in the Bronx afore they triumphed 3-0 Friday night.
In a surprising turn of events, the Chicago Cubs have finally secured a victory at Yankee Stadium after over a century of playing baseball. This momentous win came on July 7, 2023, as they defeated the New York Yankees with a score of 3-0. Prior to this game, the Cubs had endured a dismal record of 0-12 at both the old and new Yankee Stadiums, suffering defeats in regular season games and even World Series matchups in the 1930s.The hero of the night was former Yankees pitcher Jameson Taillon, who returned to New York and delivered an outstanding performance. Taillon pitched eight scoreless innings, only allowing one hit throughout the game. Chicago manager David Ross praised Taillon's exceptional outing, citing his impressive command of secondary pitches and a well-balanced mix of pitches.
Taillon's success was certainly a cause for celebration for the Cubs, especially after his previous five starts had yielded disappointing results. However, Taillon made it clear that this victory was not driven by any personal vendetta against his former team. Rather, he simply needed a strong performance and felt a sense of accomplishment in achieving it on such a grand stage in New York City.
On the other hand, the Yankees were left to reflect on their shortcomings as they dropped their third consecutive game in Carlos Rodón's debut with the team. Despite pitching in the iconic pinstripes at Yankee Stadium, Rodón expressed his disappointment with his performance and hoped for a better start.
The Cubs and Yankees will complete their three-game series on Sunday, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of their final showdown.
