Secures first save Taylor allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Athletics. Impact It hasn't taken Taylor long to work his way into a high-leverage role. While he's been shaky at times, allowing five runs over his last nine innings, he has a save and six holds in that span. For the season, Taylor has a 2.95 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB across 18.1 innings in the majors. He collected 21 saves in 40 appearances between High-A Everett and Double-A Arkansas prior to his promotion to the majors this year, so it's possible the Mariners view him as a future closing option.
