Carlos Rodon Fires Six Shutout Innings In Win
6 months agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon pitched six innings of shutout ball in Friday's 8-0 win over the Padres. The lefty allowed just three hits and three walks while striking out two. It was the 31-year-old's fourth straight quality start, improving his record to 6-2 and lowering his season ERA to 2.95. The veteran also has a good 1.18 WHIP, although fantasy managers who were hoping for a return to 33% strikeout rates are surely disappointed. His K-BB% of 14.8% is more in line with 2023's disastrous season, although slightly better as the southpaw has reduced his BB% by more than 2%. Rodon has also lowered his HR/FB% from 15.2% to 10.3%, which has contributed to his success this season. The 2x All-Star will draw the Angels in his next start in Anaheim on Thursday.
