Jameson Taillon allowed only one run in six innings and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres committed a fielding error in the first inning, which ultimately proved to be quite expensive in the 2-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

CHICAGO — Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres cost the Yankees again with sloppy fielding. With a runner on first base and two outs in the Cubs first inning Sunday at Wrigley Field, Cody Bellinger hit a hard two-hopper one step to Torres’ right.

In what turned out to be an extremely low-scoring series, the New York Yankees dropped the finale 2-1 against the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field on Sunday. They were going for the sweep, having won the first two games on Friday and Saturday.
