The PitchCom issues were so prevalent that the umpires decided that neither team could use the technology after the second inning. For the rest of the game, pitchers and catchers used old-fashioned finger signals.
Of the balk, Rodon said: 'I was [ticked] about it. I didn't step off soon enough, but PitchCom wasn't working, and it was what it was.' He expressed frustration about the impact of the technology failure on his performance.
Rodon, who threw six shutout innings against Colorado in his last outing, gave up the first home run of Washington rookie Dylan Crews' career on the second pitch of the bottom of the first.
It was definitely frustrating,' catcher Austin Wells said. The team appeared to struggle not only with Rodon's pitching but also with communication issues due to faulty technology.
