Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Suffers loss in quality start
Rotowire
Taillon (11-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and zero walks over seven innings against the Red Sox. He struck out four.
Taillon got off to a rocky start as Tommy Pham led off the game with a double to deep center and later came around to score. The only other damage came from a two-run home run off the bat of Rafael Devers in the sixth. The Yankees' starter was outdueled by Michael Wacha on the night, but it was promising that Taillon did not walk a batter for the first time since July 16. He will look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is slated to be against the Blue Jays this week.

Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Allows five runs
Rotowire
Taillon did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing six runs (five earned) on two hits while striking out six and walking four over 4.2 innings.
Taillon was not efficient Tuesday, throwing 98 pitches (56 for strikes) across 4.2 innings.

Taillon also has just four quality starts in his last 12 appearances. He will take a 3.96 ERA into his next outing.

Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
Taillon (9-2) gave up five earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings to take the loss in a 5-2 defeat against the Pirates on Tuesday.
Taillon was done in by a pair of home runs off the bats of Daniel Vogelbach and Jack Suwinski get handed his second loss of the season. Taillon's 9-2 record conceals his struggles as of late. The 30-year-old right-hander has now given up 14 earned runs over his past three starts. His last quality start came over a month ago June 3, yet he has tallied three wins during that time thanks to the Yankees' high-powered offense. Look for Taillon to take the mound Sunday at Boston, when he will go for his 10th win of the season.

Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Escapes with no-decision
Rotowire
Taillon allowed six runs on 10 hits and a hit batter while striking out three in 5.2 innings versus the Astros on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.
Taillon gave up three-run home runs to Alex Bregman in the first inning and Yordan Alvarez in the third. It took a Yankees rally in the ninth to get Taillon off the hook after a lackluster start -- the six runs and 10 hits were both season highs. He still hasn't lost since his first game of the season, and he owns a solid 3.19 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 63:9 K:BB in 79 innings overall even after this poor outing. He's projected for a more favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.

Taillon had his best stuff working Sunday, limiting the damage to one run on three hits in the fourth inning, and he responded by retiring the next 10 White Sox. The 94 pitches and seven strikeouts both represent season highs, while more strikeouts should be in store as the 30-year-old is at 7.2 K/9 this season compared to an 8.2 mark in his career. Taillon is scheduled to take the mound again next weekend against the Rays.

Rotowire
Taillon allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across 4.2 innings Thursday against Baltimore. He did not factor into the decision.
Taillon surrendered a run in both the second and third innings, but his primary problem was his inefficiency.

Rotowire
Taillon pitched 4.2 innings against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two. He did not factor in the decision.
The Yankees jumped out to a 4-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning, giving Taillon a chance to qualify for the win by completing the bottom of the frame.

Taillon has allowed exactly two runs in each of his first two starts, though he has yet to notch a victory. He'll try to change that in his next outing, which lines up to come at home against Cleveland late next week.
