On yet another day when the Yankees offered a reminder that it can always get worse, Carlos Rodón took a turn doing his part.
On yet another day when the Yankees offered a reminder that it can always get worse, Carlos Rodón took a turn doing his part.
There was plenty of bad around him, from the pregame news that Clarke Schmidt is headed for Tommy John surgery to more sloppy defense behind him and even some friendly fire that bloodied Aaron Judge.
But Rodón did little to help plug the hole of water gushing out of the sinking ship that is the Yankees.
The left-hander turned in arguably his worst start of the season and put the Yankees in an immediate four-run hole on the way to a sixth straight loss, 12-6 to the Mets on Saturday at Citi Field.
“[I had] a lot of misses today, and they punished them,” Rodón said. “Obviously, we fell short again, and the performance by me was very subpar, so [I] didn’t put us in position to win.”
Rodón was tagged for seven runs (six earned) across five innings, most of the damage coming on Brandon Nimmo’s grand slam (on a 1-2 count) in the first inning and Pete Alonso’s two-run homer in the fifth.
