EDGE Analysis

Taillon left with his team leading 5-4 and was on pace to get the win before his bullpen allowed two runs in the seventh and three runs in the ninth, relinquishing what would have been Taillon's eighth win of the year. It was his third straight game with seven or more strikeouts and sixth time he's accomplished that mark this season, a big part why his strikeouts per nine innings is up to 8.90 this season from last year's mark of 7.36.
