Jameson Taillon Gets His First Win In 731 Days, His First Win With New York As They Top Detroit
Jameson Taillon’s Major League Baseball career has been different then any other Major League Baseball pitcher.
Why?
Because Jameson Taillon who started his career with Pittsburgh where he played four seasons has had Tommy John Surgery twice.
His most recent in 2017
What is Tommy John Surgery?
It’s a surgery to repair the a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.
Though,
That isn’t all that Jameson Taillon has had to deal with during his Major League Baseball career as Jameson Taillon is also a cancer survivor.
Why?
Because Jameson Taillon had testicular cancer!
Where does testicular cancer occur?
Testicular cancer occurs in the testicles (testes) which are located inside the scrotum , a loose bag underneath the penis.

Today New York is going for the sweep of Detroit!
Where?
Bronx New York where two right handed pitchers are starting the game for New York as Corey Kluber is starting for New York and Jose Urena is starting for Detroit..
Corey Kluber comes into the finale with a record of 1-2 with an earn run average of 4.15.
Corey Kluber broke through for his first victory of the season on Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing only one run in 6 2/3 innings (his longest start as a Yankee) while striking out five. He’ll look to keep that momentum going against Detroit.
Jose Urena comes into the finale with a record of 1-3 with an earn run average of 3.77.
Jose Ureña showed serious mettle his last time out, continuing to pitch aggressively and hold his team in the game despite the defense committing five errors behind him. His reward was his first win as a Tiger. Ureña has a 2.16 ERA in two career starts (8 1/3 innings) against the Yankees.
However,
This question comes to mind when talking about today’s game!
Will Corey Kluber and Jose Urena be able to start the finale for New York and Detroit?
Why?
Because mother nature might have a say as to if New York and Detroit get to play their finale this afternoon!
Why?
Because at first pitch there are intermitted with a 17% chance of rain and it goes up to 38% an hour after the game is scheduled to start.
