Carlos Rodon Stumbles Against Orioles, Yanks Fall 7-2
by Chase Davis | Yankees Correspondent | Fri, May 3rd 9:17am EDT
Carlos Rodon had a rough outing allowing six earned runs, eight hits, no walks and six strikeouts in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed six earned runs on eight hits while striking out six over four innings. This performance was a significant deviation from his solid season stats, which boasted a 3.19 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP before this game. The absence of walks in this outing does little to mitigate the damage done by the high hit and run totals. Fantasy managers should note that Rodon's ERA and WHIP will see a noticeable increase, and his FIP of 4.77 suggests that some regression might have been expected, though perhaps not to this extent. This game could be a blip on the radar, but it might also signal a need for cautious lineup decisions if his next few starts follow a similar pattern.
