Fans seven in six strong innings
Rodon took a no-decision Thursday against the Guardians, allowing one run on two hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis
Rodon continues to be difficult to hit, giving up four knocks or fewer in all five of his starts this year, but control remains an issue. The 33-year-old left-hander has now issued multiple free passes each time out, though he's also thrown at least five innings while yielding exactly one run in each of his past three outings. Rodon will try to further improve on a 2.88 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB over 24.2 innings in his next appearance, which is set to be a rematch versus the Guardians in Cleveland.

Picks up first win
Rodon (1-2) allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Friday.
Analysis
Rodon picked up his first win and first quality start of the season, throwing 56 of 93 pitches for strikes. The lone run against him came on a Nick Kurtz solo shot in the first inning. Rodon has been shaking off the rust after offseason elbow surgery, but he's given up just one run in each of his last two outings. He's at a 3.32 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB through 19 innings, so getting that lofty walk total under control will be his next order of business. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Guardians.
