Jameson Taillon Shines, Cubs Fall Short
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Sep 3rd 5:20am EDT
Jameson Taillon delivered a stellar performance, allowing no earned runs on just three hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his strong outing, Taillon didn't factor into the decision, leaving his record at 9-8. This game exemplifies Taillon's solid season, characterized by a commendable 3.66 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. His ability to limit damage, as reflected in his 0.279 BABIP and 3.96 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward innings pitched and WHIP. While his K/9 rate isn't elite, his control and efficiency should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.
