After Jameson Taillon and Miguel Amaya’s last game together before the All-Star break, the veteran pitcher went to the rookie catcher to say, “Dude that was impressive.”
The battery mates were, naturally, paired together Tuesday, as Taillon faced the Nationals in his first start back from the break and first since his best outing as a Cub. Amaya has pretty consistently caught Taillon and Kyle Hendricks in his two major-league stints since debuting in early May.
In New York right before the break, Taillon threw eight shutout innings to Amaya.
