Carlos Rodon frustrated after getting pulled out early as pitching woes continue
Carlos Rodon hasn't been pitching well in recent games, and it has reflected in his ERA, which is 4.45 after his Wednesday's start against the Reds.
He allowed three earned runs, three walks and eight strikeouts in 5.1 innings. After walking Jeimer Candelario, Yankees manager Aaron Boone walked towards to Rodon to pull him out of the game with two outs remaining in the sixth. However, Rodon was visibly frustrated by the decision.
After the game, which the Yankees lost 3-2, Rodon said that it was his competitive spirit that got him angry.
"Yeah, I mean, it's just me competing, and, you know, I don't want to come off the wrong way," Rodon said.
"I wanted to stay in and get those last two outs in that inning. But you know, I understand that, you know, turn it over to Tonkin, and he gets two outs easy. You know, he's great."
It was the Yankees' second straight loss against the Reds in the three-game series. They play the last game of the series on Thursday.
