Pirates' Jameson Taillon deals five scoreless innings in his return to action on Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jameson Taillon dealt five scoreless innings in a win over the Colorado Rockies in his return to major league action on Monday.
What It Means:
Taillon is only five weeks removed from undergoing surgery for testicular cancer, and that doesn't look to have slowed him down a bit. He allowed only five hits while punching out five in the win, which brings him to 3-1 through 7 starts this season.
While Taillons' 2.90 ERA is strong, his peripheral numbers are a little bit more concerning, with a 4.14 SIERA with a 20.6% strikeout rate and 8.8% walk rate on the year. numberFire's models expect his production to fall off, projecting him for a 4.44 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 87 innings over the remainder of the season.
