Taijuan Walker has been the steal of the offseason for the New York Mets and had another amazing start. He struck out 12 to take a second straight game from the Chicago Cubs by a score of 3-2. Walker’s previous season-high was nine strikeouts and he blew right past that for his sixth victory of the season.

Early in his start, Walker did not look like he had the best command of each of his pitches.
