Reds vs Pirates
7:10 EDT first pitch
Rookie Davis vs Jameson Taillon
For what seems like a good ten years or so, Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon have been much-ballyhooed pitching prospects for the Pirates. I’m pretty sure I remember the both of ‘em playing catch with Don Slaught at their first spring training.
Taillon is 25 now and seems to be putting it together. He has a terrific 2.08 ERA in five starts so far this year. This will be his second start against the Reds this season, as he pitched a strong six and gave up a Duvarino back on April 11.
