"Rodón was cruising until he invited trouble upon himself in the third inning by walking Detroit's No. 8 and 9 hitters."
"He was upset by the strike zone on the second walk...he could not overcome it."
"Rodón got frustrated on the mound, appearing to yell, 'That's bad!'"
"The Yankees got one run back in the top of the fifth...but the Tigers extended their lead in the bottom of the inning."
On a bitterly cold day, Carlos Rodón struggled with his control, leading to a disappointing 6-2 loss for the Yankees against the Tigers. Despite a strong start where he retired the first seven batters, Rodón faltered in the third inning by walking the bottom of the Tigersâ lineup, which allowed a three-run homer to Andy Ibáñez that shifted the momentum. Errors and further walks compounded the problem, as the Yankees could not capitalize on their opportunities, even after scoring one run in the fifth.
