BALTIMORE — Michael Busch and Ian Happ homered, and Jameson Taillon and three relievers combined for a five-hitter as the Chicago Cubs beat the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles 9-2. Taillon (6-4) allowed two runs and four hits with seven strikeouts and a walk over six innings. The 32-year-old right-hander retired the last 11 batters he faced. The Cubs improved to 10-4 against the Orioles since 2014, and have won four of the last five games since Aug. 18, 2022. Rookie Jordan Westburg hit his 15th home run of the season for Baltimore, which lost for the fourth time in 12 games.
