This was one of the most impressive pitching performances I’ve seen in my 27 years as a Yankees fan (yes, I was born a fan, don’t question it). Corey Kluber’s no-hitter and Gerrit Cole’s complete game masterpiece in Houston are the most recent list-toppers, however given everything Jameson Taillon has been through in his career, to carry a perfect game bid into the eighth inning on Lou Gehrig Day is right up there with the best of them. Thanks to a late rally capped off by a two-out go-ahead pinch-hit two-run single from Anthony Rizzo, Taillon’s masterpiece was preserved in a 2-1 victory.
