His five innings pitched allowed only one run and marked his fifth win of the season, signaling improvement from his previous outing.

Rodón didn't allow a hit until Mark Vientos' flare single to center with one out in the fourth, when he also allowed his lone run over five innings.
Rodón's performance was pivotal in limiting the Mets to one run and showcasing his ability to adapt and compete, even without his best command.
Rodón stated, 'There are days you've got to figure out how to get outs when everything's not on. Today was one of those days.'
Despite matching a season-high with four walks, Rodón effectively challenged Juan Soto, demonstrating the patience and skill of both players.
