RecapCarlos Rodón notched his 100th career victory after shutting out the Rays for eight innings in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.
Rodón also picked up his 1,500th strikeout along the way, so it was quite the milestone day for him. The left-hander allowed only three hits and walked none in the 96-pitch outing. It’s his first time this year completing eight innings and second time in his four seasons with the Yankees. Rodón is now 7-3 with a 2.67 ERA for the year. Manager Aaron Boone said after the game that Rodón won’t start Sunday’s finale, but he didn’t rule out having him pitch in relief. It’s unclear if Rodón will have the chance to start against Boston next week; it’ll probably come down to him or Gerrit Cole in a potential Game 3.
