Taillon tossed six scoreless innings Saturday against the Reds, allowing just three hits while walking one and striking out four. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the strong effort, the Pirates' offense failed to generate any offense until after he had departed. Taillon had a rough month of August, posting a 6.60 ERA and 16 walks in six starts, but this is a good bounce-back effort in both categories to begin the new month. His next turn in the rotation will come against the Cubs later in the week.
