Taillon (8-4) allowed three earned runs on five hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings, earning the win over the Twins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon fired five shutout innings before struggling in the sixth. He recorded just one out before allowing three runs on four straight hits before being relieved. The Yankees' offense provided plenty of run support to keep him in line for the win. The 29-year-old has allowed three or less runs in each of his last nine starts. He has a 3.94 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 121 strikeouts in 123.1 innings.

Taillon allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox dinged Taillon for a run in each of the first three innings, but the right-hander put up zeroes over the next two frames and turned a 3-3 game over to the bullpen after five. Taillon has been a stabilizing force in the Yankees' rotation -- Saturday marked the first time since late June in which he's allowed more than two runs in a start -- logging 118 innings with a 3.89 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. He's tentatively lined up to make his start at home against the Twins.

Taillon pitched six innings against Kansas City on Monday, allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was sharp in what turned into an 11-inning affair, throwing 55 of 87 pitches for strikes and keeping Kansas City off the scoreboard through six frames. Taillon was pulled after allowing a single to lead off the seventh, and the Royals managed to get the runner home against Jonathan Loaisiga without collecting another hit in the frame. Taillon's strong effort continued a run of seven straight starts since the beginning of July in which he has allowed two or fewer earned runs. Over that stretch, he has registered a 1.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB across 43.1 innings. Taillon will look to keep things going in his next start, which is expected to come on the road against the White Sox this weekend.

Taillon allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts in 6.1 innings versus Baltimore on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon turned in his fourth quality start in his last six appearances, although he emerged with a no-decision for the second time in that span. The right-hander missed out on the win as he exited with the game tied before the Yankees' offense rallied ahead in the bottom of the seventh inning. The 29-year-old continues to lower his ERA, which is now 4.04 with a 1.22 WHIP and 108:32 K:BB through 107 innings this season. He's expected to make his next start on the road in Kansas City next week.

Taillon (7-4) earned the win over Miami on Friday. He allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander benefited from facing a Miami team depleted of talent at the trade deadline. Taillon was an out short of a quality start, but he's still allowed just six runs (four earned) in 31 innings in July. His strong work lately has dropped his ERA to 4.11 with a 1.24 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 100.2 innings overall. The 29-year-old lines up for another easy start next week versus Baltimore.

Taillon (6-4) allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four across seven innings to earn the win Saturday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon allowed one run to cross the plate in each of his first three innings, though only one was earned. However, he fought through the early issues to complete seven innings for the second time in his last four starts. In that span, he's allowed only four earned runs across 25.1 frames while also punching out 20 and walking eight. Overall, Taillon has a 4.36 ERA with 93 strikeouts across 95 innings.

Taillon (5-4) won Sunday's 9-1 game with Boston, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings and permitting four hits and two walks with three strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon held a powerful Boston lineup at bay all game, only encountering trouble in the fourth and sixth innings when he allowed runners to reach second and third with one out, but New York was able to escape both jams unscathed. The win is Taillon's fourth in his last five starts and he hasn't lost since May 31, an eight-start stretch that's seen his ERA improve to 4.60.

Taillon allowed two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in Sunday's loss to the Astros. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon was in line for his fourth consecutive win before the Yankees' bullpen melted down in the ninth inning. The only damage against him came via the long ball; he allowed a pair of solo homers to Martin Maldonado and Kyle Tucker. He's now allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, bringing his ERA down to 4.90 through 17 starts. Taillon hasn't been hit with a loss since May 31.

Taillon (4-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Mariners after allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon was given a massive lead to work with early on after the Yankees climbed out to an 8-0 advantage through the first three innings. The 29-year-old still held his own and delivered a gem after he was roughed up his last time out. Taillon went seven innings for the first time in 2021 and tied his season high in strikeouts while inducing 11 total swinging strikes. He's experienced an uptick in strikeouts this year, averaging a career-best 9.6 K/9, but he still owns an inflated 5.05 ERA to go along with a 1.30 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB over 76.2 innings. He's in line to end the week with a tough road tilt against the Astros before the league heads into the All-Star break.

Taillon (3-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels despite allowing five runs on nine hits with four strikeouts and a walk over 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
All the damage off the right-hander came via the long ball, as Shohei Ohtani went deep twice and Jose Iglesias also homered. It's the first time since April 13, his second outing of the season, that Taillon surrendered more than four runs. He has a 5.43 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 73:21 K:BB across 69.2 innings this season.
