New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón had a tough outing against the Atlanta Braves, giving up seven earned runs and 11 hits, including three home runs. This poor performance came after a previous game where he allowed five earned runs against the Red Sox. Rodón appeared emotional after being pulled from the game, with fans expressing their disappointment through boos.
Teammate Gleyber Torres, who was out of the lineup due to injury, showed support by consoling Rodón in the dugout. Despite the tough loss, Rodón acknowledged his performance and took responsibility for not meeting expectations.
The Yankees have been struggling on the pitching front, giving up a total of 27 runs in the last two series. Despite their leading position in the AL East, losing consecutive series to division rivals is a cause for concern.
Looking ahead, the Yankees are counting on Marcus Stroman to deliver a better performance in the upcoming game against the Braves. Stroman, with a 3.08 ERA this season, will face Charlie Morton on the mound.
It’s crucial for the Yankees to bounce back from this rough patch and regain their winning momentum as they aim to maintain their position in the division standings. The support from teammates like Torres will be essential in overcoming challenges and getting back on track for success in the season.
