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.
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.
