Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s gamble didn’t pay off and his team paid for it with a 4-1 loss in Game 2 of the NLCS on Sunday night. Lackey ran the count full before walking Taylor, then served up the three-run dinger to left-center field on a 1-0 fastball. The game was a low-scoring affair otherwise, with each team managing just one run through the first eight innings. Brandon Morrow pitched two innings of scoreless relief followed by Josh Fields for one out, Tony Watson for two, and Kenley Jansen for three.
