Is Carlos Rodon, a flop last season, suddenly the most dependable Yankees starter?
Aaron Boone’s Gleyber Torres benching won’t solve all of Yankees’ problems“That’s why we went out and got him a couple years ago,” Aaron Judge said of Rodon, who has allowed just six earned runs in his past three starts. “He’s an incredible pitcher.” He dazzled against eight Toronto batters and struggled against Vladimir Guerrero Jr., which is understandable with the Yankees killer.
He has added to his arsenal this season, which might be making his trusted four-seamer more effective. Rodon’s only true bit of trouble after the first inning arrived in the sixth, when he walked George Springer before striking out Joey Loperfido with his 100th pitch of the game. Aaron Boone chatted with Rodon on the mound, and Rodon convinced his manager that he should see Guerrero one more time.
Part of an otherwise struggling rotation, Rodon’s ERA is back down to 4.37 and trending the right way — as is his stuff.
