Carlos Rodón's ALDS Game 3 Clunker Nearly Dooms Yankees, Bailed Out by Offense

Carlos Rodón delivered a disastrous performance in ALDS Game 3 against the Blue Jays, allowing six runs and failing to complete three innings for the New York Yankees. The veteran lefty exited with one out in the third, throwing 67 pitches (44 strikes) and recording only two strikeouts. He gave up a two-run blast to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. early in the game. Despite his struggles, the Yankees mounted a thrilling 9-6 comeback victory, with the bullpen providing 6.2 scoreless innings to secure the win. Rodón's postseason ERA this month stands at 9.72 across 8.1 innings (two starts). This comes after a strong regular season where the 32-year-old southpaw achieved his second 200-strikeout campaign and career-highs in innings (195.1) and starts (33).
