Because New York topped Detroit by a score of 4-2 yesterday in Lakeland Florida where Jameson Taillon tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings in the Yanks’ 4-2 Grapefruit League victory.

The right handed pitcher didn’t exhibit sharp command, tossing 28 of 51 pitches for strikes while issuing three walks. But his stuff was good, as he permitted a pair of hits, struck out four and was clocked as high as 95.1 mph with his fastball. Taillon averaged 93.9 mph with his 28 heaters, also tossing 12 curveballs, nine sliders and two changeups. “according to an article by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com”
