Unfortunately for the White Sox, this wasn’t the first time that Rodon struggled in the month of September.
In his previous starts this month, Rodon has a 5.25 ERA. Prior to his September starts, his ERA was 2.70. Something is clearly up with Rodon.
Rodon pitched 2.1 innings and earned six runs. Those were the only runs that the Cubs scored in Sunday’s game and they were all they needed to get the W. To get those six runs, the Cubs managed nine hits off of Rodon. By the time the game was over, the Cubs got a total of 15 hits.
