Taillon has allowed 11 earned runs on 18 hits and six walks in 15.1 innings covering his last three starts. He's struck out 14 batters over the span, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. "The stuff was great tonight," Taillon said. "That's why it's tough. You only get a handful of nights here where you feel that good and crisp and clean, and the ball is flying out of your hand. So it was poor execution, maybe second-guessing some of my shakes and pitch selection."

EDGE Analysis

Prior to Wednesday, the righty had limited opponents to one earned run in 19 road innings. Surprisingly, walks have hindered his performance. Taillon has walked 13 batters in 35.1 innings after issuing only 17 free passes in 104 innings as a rookie. He's upped his average fastball velocity from 94.3 mph to 95 mph, but the future ace is still figuring things out at the big-league level.
