Taillon (1-1) got the win Wednesday against the Athletics. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings.
ANALYSISIt was a nice bounce-back performance for Taillon after he got knocked around for six runs in his first start against the Diamondbacks on Friday. His lone blemish came in the third inning when he gave up a two-run home run to
Brent Rooker, but Taillon proceeded to retire 10 of the next 13 batters (including five strikeouts) and finished the game with 19 whiffs across 94 pitches. Taillon's next start is tentatively slated for next week at home against the Rangers.
