Following Giancarlo Stanton hitting home run New York the team that wears the pinstripes beating Minnesota 5-1 Tuesday night in Minneapolis Minnesota New York the team that wears the pinstripes manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Carlos Rodon who pitched 6.0 innings surrendering 1 hit, 1 earned run that was the home run to Ryan Jeffers to lead off the game that gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead!

I thought he kind of got it going there, even in that first inning,

“Obviously, Jeffers jumped him for the homer and then Correa smoked a ball there to left, but I thought he had his shapes right after that. It looked like his breaking ball to me was really good right away. But then he mixed a little bit, threw some really good changeups today for some big outs for him that gave a little bit of a different look.”

It’s big. You want to make them earn it,”If he can eliminate that, with some of the swing-and-miss stuff that he has, it allows you to work around some where they do square you up, where they do create traffic, and you’re not doing it by issuing free passes. It just sets you up for more success.”

Following Giancarlo Stanton hitting home run New York the team that wears the pinstripes beating Minnesota 5-1 Tuesday night in Minneapolis Minnesota New York the team that wears the pinstripes starting pitcher Carlos Rodon who pitched 6.0 innings surrendering 1 earned run while striking out 6 Minnesota batters had this to say about Minnesota’s lineup!

They were just so heavy on the fastball-slider combo there, that righty-heavy lineup, just something going away from them,”

[Austin] Wells calling those changeups and just executing them, getting some swing-and-miss, it worked out.”

With the early homer, for him not to be fazed at all and settle in and give us six-plus, yeah, that was awesome,”

He's used to it being his best pitch,

“Right now, I don't think it's his best pitch, but it's something he's going to continue to work towards and try to grab on to. Because the best version of Chris Paddack has an above-average changeup, one that gets swings and misses and he gets hitters looking real bad on.”
