Now ten starts into his 2021 second half, New York Mets pitcher Taijuan Walker has taken a turn for the worst. He was the team’s lone representative in the All-Star Game and you would never know it while watching his second-half performance.
Walker is 0-6 with a 7.38 ERA. He has given up 17 home runs compared to the 6 surrendered in the first half of the season.
