Rodon did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Rangers, surrendering two hits, two earned runs, and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.
The sophomore lefty's mistakes were few and far between, but costly nonetheless. Rodon surrendered his first homer since his first start of the season to Ian Desmond, who tagged him with one on in the second. Otherwise, Rodon had some positives to take out of his third quality start over four trips to the mound, including a season high in strikeouts. Rodon's overall performance had to be a huge sigh of relief after lasting only a third of an inning and giving up five earned runs versus the Angels on April 18.
