EDGE Analysis

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.
