Take out the negativity of the Yankees’ offense spending another nine innings flailing and it wasn’t too bad a night for Carlos Rodon.
Making his debut in pinstripes, the left-hander, who signed a $162 million contract with the Yankees this past offseason, returned from a series of injuries to throw 5 ¹/₃ innings, allowing two runs on four hitsRodon, last year’s NL ERA leader, sounded frustrated about the loss. Everyone else sounded optimistic — at least about Rodon, if not the woeful hitting.
Throwing just 69 pitches, Rodon retired the first six batters he faced and deployed a fastball-heavy mix all night, with 53 four-seamers, 12 sliders and just two changeups and curveballs, per Statcast. The other run he allowed came in the fifth, when Rodon walked two batters before Nico Hoerner singled in Trey Mancini.“I thought Carlos was really good,” manager Aaron Boone said. “They came in with a game plan and really selling out to that heater and how it plays and stuff. They were aggressive to it, took some good swings, but I thought because he had the life there and was executing at the top of the zone, thought he was really good. Really pitch-efficient.
