Rodón Allows Three Hits in Eight Sharp Innings as Yanks Beat Rays 2-0 in Doubleheader Opener
- On Tuesday, the New York Yankees defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 in a doubleheader opener, as Carlos Rodon earned his 100th career win and Cody Bellinger hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning.
- Rodon dominated the Rays, striking out eight over eight shutout innings while allowing just three singles and becoming the 18th active pitcher to reach 1,500 career strikeouts.
- In the fourth inning, Bellinger launched his 17th home run of the season, then later initiated a critical double play from left field for his eighth outfield assist of the year.
- This victory prevented the Rays from clinching the American League East title, while the Yankees improved to 90-66 and extended their six-game lead for the top wild-card spot.
- Manager Aaron Boone is currently evaluating his postseason rotation, stating "we haven't gotten there yet" in discussions about Rodon's possible role for a likely best-of-three series against the Boston Red Sox.
