Mariners' Troy Taylor: Secures first save
Troy 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.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 Seattle Mariners view him as a future closing option.

Mariners' Troy Taylor: Impressive in big-league debut
Troy Taylor fired a scoreless ninth inning in a win over the Mets on Sunday, allowing a walk and recording two strikeouts.The precocious rookie was impressive in his big-league debut, which came after a promotion straight from Double-A Arkansas. Taylor wrapped up his first frame in the majors in signature fashion, recording swinging strikeouts of Luis Torrens and Tyrone Taylor to close out Seattle's 11-run victory. Taylor's above-average ability to miss bats earned him plenty of high-leverage work at Arkansas thus far this minor-league season, but his initial assignments in the majors will likely continue to be of the low-leverage variety.

Mariners' Troy Taylor: Selected to majors
The Seattle Mariners selected Troy Taylor's contract from Double-A Arkansas on Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.After posting a spectacular 1.27 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through 42.2 innings between High-A Everett and Double-A Arkansas, Taylor will skip past Triple-A and move directly into the Mariners' bullpen. The 22-year-old right-hander will likely be used in middle relief while with Seattle, and he'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game. Eduard Bazardo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.
