Carlos Rodón earned his first victory in four starts with his new team and the Yankees got an offensive spark from Harrison Bader in beating the Mets on Wednesday night for a two-game split of their Subway Series.
It was an encouraging outing for Rodón, off to a rough start with the Yankees after signing a $162 million, six-year deal as a free agent in December. The two-time All-Star missed the first three-plus months of the season because of forearm and back injuries, then compiled a 7.36 ERA while losing his first three starts.
"A really big outing for him and us," Boone said."It's not been an easy road here since spring training and trying to get back. I think that's hurt because he wants to be out there. He knows he was brought here to be a big, big part of this team and it took longer for him to get back than he would have liked and I think that ate at him a lot. But he's here now and hopefully he continues to build momentum off this one.
"I was just saying to myself if he slides, I'm gonna go. I'm just gonna make him make a play," Bader said.
