on september 8, taylor hit a "little league grand slam" off of new york mets pitcher matt harvey after a bases-loaded single got by center fielder yoenis céspedes and went to the wall. he was not credited with an inside-the-park home run, with an error being charged to céspedes on the play. taylor himself allowed an inside-the-park grand slam on a similar play just weeks later, as he dove and missed a ball hit by philadelphia phillies rookie aaron altherr in a september 25 game, unloading the bases and allowing altherr to score on his own hit. the play was scored a home run for altherr.
