Taylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor provided the Royals' last run Friday with a sixth-inning blast. The outfielder is 8-for-14 with four walks, two RBI and three runs scored in his last five games. That surge of offense has boosted his slash line to .269/.371/.387 with three homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored and no stolen bases through 39 contests this season. He should continue to see a near-everyday role in center field.
