Taylor's Herculean Effort Sparks Postseason Win

Pitcher Taylor delivered a remarkable performance, throwing a career-high 54 pitches to record the final seven outs.

His outing was a testament to endurance, as he navigated a challenging eighth inning where he surrendered one run, two hits, and committed a throwing error. Despite issuing a leadoff walk, Taylor regained his composure.

He then struck out consecutive batters and won a crucial seven-pitch battle to end the game. This pivotal effort secured Chicago's first postseason victory since 2021, marking a significant moment for the team.
