Before Walker’s June 8th start at Safeco Field against the Cleveland Indians, he had allowed at least three earned runs in four of his previous five outings. Since that game against the Indians, he has had two outings in three starts where he has given up no earned runs- by far the best results he’s had since the early part of the 2016 season.
So this poses the question: is Taijuan Walker returning to his ways of mastery that we saw from him at the beginning of the year? It appears for the moment that he is back and maybe better than ever.
