Carlos Rodón had his best start of the season on Tuesday night as the Yankees sweep their doubleheader with the Red Sox.
Rodón struck out a season-high nine batters in what turned out to be a 4-1 win as the Yankees sweep their doubleheader with Boston at Fenway Park. The lefty earned the win and he can thank an unlikely crew of relievers for preserving a lead in the late innings: Zach McAllister , Anthony Misiewicz, Matt Bowman and Nick Ramirez combined to throw four scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
One notable change was Rodón’s pitch usage. The lefty has been exposed as a two-pitch pitcher since returning from a lengthy stay on the IL to begin the year, relying solely on his fastball and slider. On Tuesday night, Rodón mixed in 13 curveballs and five changeups. One good start doesn’t wipe away a lost season by any means. Rodón has a long way to go before he’s pitching to his price tag in pinstripes. Awas ruled out for the rest of the season with an elbow injury — a reminder of lingering concerns about the depth in this team’s pitching staff going into next spring — it’s a positive to see an important piece contribute.
