The Cubs fall at home to the Angels, dropping Game 2 by a 2–0 final. José Soriano was dominant on the mound for Los Angeles, while Jameson Taillon turned in a solid first outing of the 2026 season for Chicago. A pair of tough plays from two elite Cubs defenders—Alex Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong—proved costly and led directly to both Angels runs.
Looking ahead to the series finale, Matthew Boyd makes his second start of the season as he goes up against Yusei Kikuchi in an afternoon affair at Wrigley Field. We also take a deeper look at the bench Jed Hoyer has built during his tenure as Cubs president. Is roster depth becoming a real issue for the organization, or is this just the reality every team battles over the course of a long season?
