The Chicago Cubs veteran starter could not say enough good things about his New York Yankees counterpart and friend.
The Cubs veteran fired six innings of one-run ball, scattering six hits and one walk as he struck out six. That was just enough to outduel his counterpart.
It was the first time they opposed each other, as Taillon now has the upper hand over his former teammate. Before the game, each spoke glowingly of the other, as the two basically grew up together in the minor leagues. “I feel like we bonded over that,” Taillon said. “Being young and having a lot of pressure and expectations, there’s not many people that can understand what you’re going through when you’re that age. Put under that spotlight and on that platform.”
