Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon held the Yankees to one hit through eight innings in New York on Friday.

NEW YORK – The day after Jameson Taillon’s starts, you can find him with a notebook in hand, his phone – maybe propped up in his locker – playing video of each batter he faced the day before.

He hasn’t been happy with the way he’s introduced himself on the mound to his new club. But he’s tried to trust the work in between starts. And Taillon’s teammates and coaches have noticed his diligence.

It paid dividends in the former Yankee’s return to New York as the Cubs pulled off a franchise first.
