The Yankees are leading the American League in runs and home runs, yet their recent success relies more on strong pitching than overwhelming offense. Over a three-game series against the Rangers, they only scored 10 runs but achieved a shutout in one game, showcasing stellar pitching from Carlos Rodón and the bullpen. The Yankees have won their last four games and 11 of their last 14 as they prepare for a nine-game road trip, establishing a formidable team with a solid rotation and an impressive ERA.
Good teams find different ways to win, and the Yankees are no longer smacking and more often silencing opponents.
Rodón was virtually untouched through six scoreless, two-hit innings, and the Yankees' bullpen took care of the rest in a 1-0 shutout.
With Max Fried leading the majors in ERA (1.29) and Rodón the hardest pitcher in baseball to record a hit against (MLB-best .161), their top of the rotation has continued to look formidable.
Despite frigid and wet conditions, Rodón was undershirt-less and at the top of his game, striking out eight and the side in the fifth inning.
