Jameson Taillon had this to say about his start!

Just being able to take the ball and take my turn in the rotation is big,”This year, it just seems to me like I’ve found a better pitch mix. I’m sequencing my pitches better, moving the ball around and not letting the hitters keyhole in one area.”

Tampa Bay’s Kevin Kiermaier had this to say about Jameson Taillon!

He was throwing well above-average fastballs, but I feel like they were playing up even more than what the numbers said. I missed a couple that I'd like to have back.”

Manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Jameson Taillon’s performance on the mound!

“He was great,”

He he gave no thought to letting Taillon try for a complete game despite having thrown only 93 pitches. “He was in control of the game and had a little bit of everything going. Just another great performance from one of our starters.”
