Yankees' Carlos Rodón gets emotional after poor start, consoled by teammate in dugout

Ken Rosenthal and Will Cain preview the Giants-Cardinals game, airing Thursday at 7:15 p.m. ET on FOX.

New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón was looking for a bounce-back start against the Atlanta Braves after giving up five runs in his last outing in Boston. 

Instead of a strong showing, Rodón left to a shower of boos in the Bronx, as manager Aaron Boone pulled him after allowing seven earned runs and 11 hits, three of which were home runs, another blowout at Yankee Stadium for the pinstripes. 

The Yankees lost 8-1 to open their weekend series with the Braves, and it came after being demolished by the Baltimore Orioles, 17-5, the day before when the AL’s ERA leader, rookie star Luis Gil, had the worst start of his season by far.

So, as Yankees fans witnessed yet another letdown from their starting pitcher, they let Rodón know how they felt, and it appeared that the bad outing made him emotional. 

The Apple TV broadcast showed a shot of Rodón in the Yankees’ dugout after being pulled with what appeared to be teary eyes as he stared blankly onto the field. Rodón had the worst start of his 2024 campaign, coming at a time when the Yankees were looking to get back on track.

Couple that with a five-earned-run performance that ended in a loss against the Red Sox this past weekend, and Rodón was clearly feeling something in the moment.
