New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodón throws during the first inning of a baseball game against the Kansas City Royals Monday, June 10, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Carlos Rodón pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning in his return to the mound where he hit his low point last September, winning his seventh straight start and leading the New York Yankees over the Kansas City Royals 4-2 on Monday night.
AL-best New York won for the 10th time in 13 games and improved to 15-1 against the AL Central. Aaron Boone got his 556th victory, tying Billy Martin for seventh among Yankees managers. A 34-year-old who made his major league debut in 2013, Tonkin was cut by Minnesota and the New York Mets in April.
“I knew this game was coming and it was circled on the calendar and I wanted to show up and give my team the best chance to win after coming out of here last year over what happened and not pitching well,” Rodón said. “I tried to flush it early on but it’s hard to get that one out of your head. It wasn’t just one start. It was a culmination of the whole ‘23 — wasn’t so great, so that definitely motivated me.
