The Yankees had a chance to sweep consecutive series for the first time this season, right up until the moment Carlos Rodón stepped on the mound. The clunkers keep piling up for the southpaw free agent signing, this time surrendering seven runs to the Tigers in under four innings. New York’s offense meanwhile could never maintain momentum beyond a few spurts as they drop the series finale, 10-3.
Rodón had looked sharper of late, holding opponents to two or fewer runs in each of his previous three starts, but that flew out the window in the first inning tonight.
