The 32-year-old southpaw struck out five batters in the ballgame. All of the damage that was done against him came via the long ball, with Kristian Cambell launching a game-tying two-run shot in the fifth inning and Carlos Narváez adding a go-ahead three-run blast to chase Rodón in the sixth inning. He got 15 swings and misses on 90 pitches on the evening, registering a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll look to get back on track as he carries a terrific 2.87 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a 103/30 K/BB ratio (84 2/3 innings) into a rematch against these Red Sox in Boston on Saturday.

Rodón picked up his eighth win, moving him into a tie with Hunter Brown for the MLB lead. He’s also fourth with his 98 strikeouts. This is the eighth time in his 13 starts that he’s allowed one or no runs. He’s set to face the Red Sox next on Sunday.

Rodón dominated the Angels over seven shutout innings, scattering five hits with no walks while striking out ten batters on an impressive 21 swinging strikes. The 32-year-old left-handers has been one of the best pitchers in baseball so far, posting a 2.60 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a 90/26 K/BB ratio across 72 2/3 innings with seven wins. Rodón will look to keep it going Tuesday against the Guardians in New York.
