Rodon (2-5) surrendered seven hits, four earned runs and three walks over six innings in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Tigers. He struck out five.
As has been in the case in a few of his five losses, Rodon wasn't terrible Friday, but did give up some key homers. The 23-year-old was touched up for an early solo shot by James McCann in the second inning, and Victor Martinez followed suit with one of his own in the third. It was Rodon's third start of the last five with double-digit homers surrendered, and he also issued multiple walks for the third straight start. He'll look to bounce back versus the Nationals next Thursday.
