Carlos Rodon’s inefficient Yankees outing draws boos from Bronx crowd
NY Post
It was turn back the clock night for Carlos Rodon at Yankee Stadium on Friday, which was bad news for the Yankees.
The left-hander, who has rebounded well after a disastrous first season in The Bronx, reverted back to his 2023 form against the Braves as he gave up eight runs — seven earned — in just 3 ²/₃ innings.
And then he got booed off the mound by a crowd that watched too many of those performances from Rodon a year ago.
“They came out swinging and did some damage on the fastballs,’’ Rodon said of the Braves hitters’ success against his four-seamer. “Two pitches in, two runs down. Just turn the page on that one. That was rough.”
