Picks up win in relief
Taylor (7-2) earned the win Friday against the Twins after pitching 2.2 scoreless innings in relief, allowing one hit and striking out three without a walk.
Analyse
Taylor took over with two outs in the sixth inning and protected Chicago's 6-4 advantage through the end of the eighth, allowing just one baserunner during his 2.2 innings of work while tossing 20 of his 27 pitches for strikes. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.03 with this outing, and he extended an outstanding stretch that has seen him give up just one earned run across 22.2 innings, good for a pristine 0.40 ERA, in 16 outings since the All-Star break. He's also gone 4-for-7 in save opportunities in that span, but his usage earlier in the game afforded Bryan Hudson the save chance Friday.

Records one-out save
Taylor recorded his eighth save of the season Tuesday against the Rangers, retiring the only batter he faced.
Analyse
Taylor was summoned with two outs in the ninth inning after Hagen Smith walked the bases loaded, bringing the tying run to the plate. He needed just two pitches to extinguish the threat, inducing a ground-ball fielder's choice to secure his eighth save of the season. The right-hander has been dominant recently, allowing just one run over his last 23.2 innings while striking out 25 batters during that span. Taylor's ERA is down to 2.11 on the season alongside a 1.05 WHIP and 89:24 K:BB across 68.1 innings.

Blows save, awarded win
Taylor (6-2) was charged with a blown save but credited with the win Sunday against the Mets, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.
Analyse
Brought on to safeguard a 1-0 advantage, Taylor got just 12 of his 29 pitches to hit for strikes in his sixth blown save but was taken off the hook by a Tristan Peters walk-off home run. Sunday marked the first time Taylor gave up an earned run since July 2 in Cleveland, so it's fair to envision him continuing to serve as the closer going forward. The right-hander sports a 2.12 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 89:24 K:BB over 68 innings, amassing 10 holds to go with seven saves.
