At this point with this team, it never looks easy, even when it seems easy.
Even if he wasn’t the force of sheer dominance we got used to earlier this summer, Carlos Rodón pitched well enough in his return from the IL to pick up the win, allowing five hits over five innings. He walked just one, but working without his best strikeout stuff he only punched out three, his lowest total of the season.
Rodón flinched in the first inning, allowing a home run to Marcus Semien to open the scoring before César Hernández went tit-for-tat with him in the top half of the second.
