Carlos Rodón gave up two runs in 4 2/3 innings to take a loss to the Red Sox in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

Rodón looked very good while allowing one run and throwing 61 pitches through four, but his defense let him down in the fifth and he seemed to let his frustrations get the best of him while walking Eli White and plunking Jahmai Jones to load the bases with two outs. Yerry De los Santos took over then and got Ceddanne Rafaela to fly out to end the threat. Rodón ended up throwing 86 pitches, which is right where the Yankees wanted him after 66 pitches in his return from the IL and 76 pitches last time out. He’s yet to complete five innings since coming back from elbow inflammation, but with any luck, that will happen next time out versus the Padres.
