Taillon goes eight solid
Jameson Taillon smothered the Padres' offense on a thick, humid and swampy afternoon. His command was impressive throughout the day, as he buried fastballs and curveballs down in the zone at will early and then switched to an effective changeup during the middle innings.
"The changeup played today for him better," Clint Hurdle said. "They think it is a fastball out of the hand. And to get 94-95 mph fastball and then to take eight to nine miles per hour off that and it looks like the same pitch, it can be very effective.
