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.

Taillon (2-4) allowed one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 6.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon delivered his highest strikeout mark in his last six starts, backed by 16 called strikes and 12 swinging strikes on 96 total pitches. He also matched his longest outing of the campaign, working over five innings for only the third time in 14 appearances. Taillon's inability to work deep into games has limited him to only two wins on the campaign. His 5.18 ERA is also uninspiring, but a more impressive 69:20 K:BB across 64.1 frames on the season suggests better results could be on the way.

Taillon allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five in 4.2 innings in Friday's loss to the Athletics. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon struggled mightily in his last outing and allowed four runs in a third of an inning, but he fared slightly better in Friday's start. The right-hander has allowed at least two runs in each of his last four appearances, but he's only been charged with one loss during that time. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Royals on Thursday.

Taillon allowed four earned runs on five hits and one walk while recording just one out in the first inning of Saturday's loss to the Phillies. He did not record a strikeout and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies' bats did not wait around against Taillon, as each of the first four batters recorded singles off the right-hander. A walk, sacrifice fly and a fifth single ultimately ended Taillon's day after just one-third of an inning, though the Yankees rallied back late to take the 29-year-old off the hook for the loss. The ugly outing increased Taillon's ERA to 5.74 on the campaign, but he'll look to get on track next Friday in his start against the Athletics.

Taillon allowed three runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings versus Boston on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon ran into trouble in the sixth inning when Rafael Devers hit a game-tying two-RBI single. Jonathan Loaisiga also allowed an inherited runner to score for the third run on Taillon's line. The right-hander has gone six starts without a win (two losses, four no-decisions). He has a 5.09 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB across 53 innings this season. He projects to make his next start in Philadelphia next weekend.

Taillon (1-4) took the loss Monday, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings as the Yankees fell 3-1 to the Rays. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
After two scoreless frames, Tampa Bay tagged Taillon for single runs in the next three innings. The right-hander exited after 85 pitches (51 strikes) as he failed to pitch past five innings for the fourth straight start, and he'll carry a 5.10 ERA and 55:15 K:BB through 47.2 innings into his next outing.

Taillon allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four in five scoreless innings in Sunday's win over the White Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Taillon had given up at least three runs in each of his last three starts but recorded his first scoreless outing of the season Sunday. However, the right-hander was forced to settle for a no-decision after the White Sox put together a late-game rally. Taillon has now posted a 5.06 ERA and 50:12 K:BB in 42.2 innings to begin the year. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Detroit on Saturday.

Taillon didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander once again was unable to give the Yankees much length, and Taillon has now pitched past five innings only once in eight starts. Despite a stellar 46:10 K:BB through 37.2 innings, he'll take a 5.73 ERA fueled by a 2.15 HR/9 into his next outing.
