Carlos Rodon’s on-mound passion can be perceived as endearing when he is rolling and detrimental when he is struggling.
against the Rangers — one that might be remembered best for his reaction following a strikeout rather than the strikeout itself.Rodon, who walked five and allowed three hits in five scoreless innings, continually found himself in trouble and continually escaped that trouble, best highlighted by the third inning.
He battled with Texas rookie Wyatt Langford, who worked the count full and watched Rodon dot a hard fastball on the outside corner with the seventh pitch of the at-bat. As it turned out, Rodon said he was not upset with Hamari but instead was directing his words toward Langford. Everything has been better this season for Rodon, who was not efficient but still recorded 17 outs on a day the Yankees were concerned about bullpen use.
