Taillon delivered a strong start on Saturday in Milwaukee, giving up one run while striking out eight over six innings in a 9-1 win. He has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since May 22; he owns a 2.95 ERA in 16 starts since then.
Considering he was looking for a job near the end of Spring Training, Sanchez has been one of baseball’s biggest surprises. He quickly recovered from the right hamstring cramp that forced him to exit last week’s start in Miami.
