ERIE — It all looked remarkably normal Sunday.
Nineteen days after undergoing surgery for testicular cancer, Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon struck out six in three scoreless innings for Class AA Altoona at UMPC Park in Erie. Taillon allowed one hit and one walk in his first rehab start since the surgery.
Taillon used 47 pitches and threw first-pitch strikes in seven of 11 at-bats against Class AA Erie. His fastball velocity sat around 93 mph, which is typical for Taillon, and he used his full complement of off-speed pitches. He threw one wild pitch.
Jameson Taillon is warming.
