AI Summary
Carlos Rodon allowed three runs over 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Mets, striking out six but struggling with command and walking three batters.
Rodon did strike out six despite seeing his fastball being down to 94.8 mph on average compared to the 95.7 he sported in his debut last weekend. The left-hander saw two runs score on a wild pitch -- yes, two runs on the same wild pitch -- and he walked three while throwing 55-of-88 pitches for strikes. Rodon's stuff looked fine, but the command was a good ways off in this one. He'll be back on the bump Thursday against the Blue Jays.
