The West Coast has not been kind to the Yankees, delivering two series losses to open up the second half. The latter of those wraps up tonight, and they can still avoid a total failure if they can prevent the sweep from happening. It’s a tall order with how they’ve performed of late, but perhaps their big offseason signing has something to say about it.
Carlos Rodón opened up this road trip in Colorado, looking to extend his endurance after an efficient 5.1 inning season debut before the All-Star break. He didn’t look nearly as sharp in that outing, going five innings and allowing four runs on four hits, though he did get six batters to whiff.
