CHICAGO — Dansby Swanson hit a three-run homer during Chicago's four-run first inning and the short-handed Cubs beat the Houston Astros 4-3 on Wednesday night.Playing without Cody Bellinger, Chicago used Swanson's big swing and a solid start by Jameson Taillon to earn its second straight win. It will try to sweep the three-game set against the struggling Astros on Thursday.Taillon allowed two runs, one earned, and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.
"The doctors will come up with a plan," manager Craig Counsell said, "and, like everything, he’s got to get symptom-free first and we’ll go from there."Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ singled for Chicago in the first against Spencer Arrighetti. Michael Busch delivered a sacrifice fly and Christopher Morel walked before Swanson hit a two-out drive to left for his third homer.Arrighetti was pulled with two outs in the fourth.
