Taillon (8-6) picked up the win Friday, coughing up five runs on nine hits over five innings in a 7-6 victory over the White Sox. He struck out four without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs staked Taillon to a 7-0 lead through the first three innings, but the right-hander nearly gave it back as he served up homers to Andrew Vaughn in the fourth and Andrew Benintendi in the fifth. Taillon's been taken deep five times in his last three starts, stumbling to a 7.04 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over that stretch despite a 12:1 K:BB in 15.1 innings. He'll try to get on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Blue Jays.

Taillon did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon allowed a solo home run in the first inning and then rattled off five straight scoreless frames. The 32-year-old was ultimately let down by his bullpen, but he responded from a rough outing Monday to secure his eighth quality start in his past 10 games. On the season, Taillon owns a 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 86:22 K:BB across 110.2 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the White Sox next week.

Taillon (7-6) allowed six runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings to take the loss Monday versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was plagued by the long ball on Monday, serving up homers to Will Benson and TJ Friedl. It was the second time this season that Taillon allowed multiple home runs in a game, something he did eight times last season. Taillon entered Monday with a 2.47 ERA over his last eight starts, so the season-high six runs allowed can be chalked up to one rough outing.

Taillon (7-5) allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 7.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

It's a harsh way for Taillon's three-start winning streak to end, as he didn't give up a run until the eighth inning. This also counted as his seventh quality start in his last eight outings, though he's been on the hook for a loss in three of them. Taillon has a 2.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 78:21 K:BB through 100.1 innings over 17 starts this season. He's projected for a road start in Cincinnati his next time out.

Taillon (7-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.2 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon came an out shy of his seventh straight quality start, but he was still able to capture his third win in a row. He's also given up a home run in six straight starts, as Alec Burleson tagged him for a solo shot in the sixth inning. Taillon is now at a 3.10 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 75:18 K:BB through 93 innings over 16 starts this season.

Taillon (5-4) got the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings against the Orioles. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was sharp on Tuesday and has now picked up back-to-back wins for the first time since his first two starts of the season. What's even more impressive is how those last two wins have come against tough opponents in the Phillies and Orioles, with quality starts each time. The veteran now has a quality start in five of his last six outings and his ERA is down to 2.99 over 87.1 innings. He's scheduled for one more start prior to the All-Star break, Sunday against the Cardinals.

Taillon (5-4) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits over seven innings against the Phillies. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon allowed a two-out solo home run by Nick Castellanos in the fourth that left the Cubs in a 2-0 hole, but Taillon then received nine runs of support while retiring 10 of the last 11 Phillies he faced to cruise to his fifth victory of the season. It was the fifth-straight start for Taillon in which he's tossed at least six innings while allowing three or fewer earned runs, posting a 2.25 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 30 strikeouts over 29 innings during that stretch. He's set up to face another tough matchup in his next start, likely to take place next week when the Cubs travel to Baltimore to take on the Orioles.

Taillon (4-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out five and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon worked through three shutout frames before coughing up a grand slam to Jackson Chourio in the fourth inning. Taillon is now 1-2 over his last four starts despite registering a 2.16 ERA during that stretch. He's given up three or fewer earned runs in all but one of his 13 starts this season. Taillon owns a strong 3.03 ERA with a 58:17 K:BB through 74.1 frames this season. He's projected to face the Phillies at home next week.

Taillon (4-3) earned the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon was excellent Saturday, with a solo home run by Francisco Alvarez in the fifth inning being his only blemish. He generated an impressive 15 swinging strikes on 93 pitches and notched a season-high 10 punchouts. Taillon has logged three consecutive quality starts and now owns a 2.90 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB over 68.1 innings this season. The 32-year-old lines up for a start against the Giants next week.

Taillon (3-3) suffered the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Taillon scattered baserunners throughout, completing only a single 1-2-3 inning, but was able to limit the damage with the only runs coming on a second-inning two-run homer by Pedro Pages. However, Taillon was given no run support and left the game after six still facing that same two-run deficit. It was the second consecutive quality start for Taillon, who has allowed just two runs in 12 innings over those two starts after having allowed 14 runs over 21.1 innings in his previous four. He'll look to keep things rolling the next time he toes the rubber, which is likely to be next weekend when the Mets roll into the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.
