Taillon didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 victory over the Reds, but surrendered only an earned run on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie put together his fifth straight quality start and has gone six innings in each of those outings. He also stayed away from the long ball altogether for the first time in the last three trips to the mound, while firing 71 of his 102 pitches for strikes and notching first-pitch strikes on 18 of 25 batters faced. Taillon continues to demonstrate excellent control as well, as evidenced by his sparkling 43:6 K:BB. He'll look to continue his impressive rookie campaign when he takes on the Padres next Thursday.
