The unit that was the backbone of the Yankees’ early-season dominance is beginning to emerge once again.
Carlos Rodon followed the lead of Gerrit Cole and Nestor Cortes and made it a third straight Yankees starter to toss a scoreless outing Friday night. Rodon tossed six shutout innings and Judge drilled his 49th home run of the season on the way to the Yankees’ third straight win, 3-0 over the Rockies in The Bronx. Yankees starters have now thrown 19 straight scoreless innings, blanking opponents in four of their last five starts and five of their last seven.
The Yankees’ rotation had an MLB-low 2.77 ERA through June 14, at which point the team was an MLB-best 50-22. The opposing lineups have not exactly been daunting, but Yankees starters have now held them to two or fewer runs in 10 of their last 13 starts. He rebounded from a tough last start — on Saturday in Detroit, when he needed 90 pitches to record just 10 outs while giving up four runs — by allowing just one Rockies hitter to touch third base all night. He crushed his fifth home run in the last four games, this one a solo shot in the sixth inning off Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland.
