Rodon (2-4) struck out nine over 6.1 innings to earn the win Monday against the Twins. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks.
Rodon was effective at putting hitters away in this one, as he piled up the punchouts despite inducing a pedestrian 12 swinging strikes and throwing 63 percent of his pitches for strikes. He gave up single runs in the first and sixth inning and was only removed due to an elevated pitch count in the seventh. Rodon has now delivered five consecutive quality starts, posting an impressive 48:12 K:BB during that span. He'll take a 3.88 ERA into Saturday's start against the Tigers.
