Carlos Rodon, in his debut as a Yankee, delivered a notable performance against the Marlins, finishing the first inning with his second strikeout and completing six scoreless innings. He allowed just three hits and a walk, striking out six with a pitch count of 76. Notably, Rodon achieved a three-pitch strikeout of Josh Bell without using his fastball or slider, utilizing a changeup for the third strike. His performance earned him a standing ovation as he exited the game with the bases loaded, with Marcus Stroman being the first to meet him.
Rodon exits the game with the bases loaded but gets a standing ovation from the crowd Marcus Stroman was of course the first guy to meet him at the top step https://t.co/1MtSZrODp1
Standing ovation for Rodon. Love it
Good performance by Rodon on mound! @Yankees
Carlos Rodon is through six scoreless innings vs. the Marlins, permitting just three hits and a walk. He has struck out six, and still in good shape with pitch count (76).
Rodon just had a 3-pitch strikeout of Josh Bell and he didn’t use his fastball nor slider. Gotta be the first at-bat as a Yankee that didn’t feature either pitch and got the job done. The changeup he threw for strike three was really nice. https://t.co/aOhi71ouW8
