The Giants’ three-run first inning and another strong start by Carlos Rodón was enough to bounce back for a 5-2 win.
QUEENS, New York — With every fastball launched out of Carlos Rodón’s left hand, the Giants’ chances of leaving their doubleheader sweep behind and embarking on a new winning streak looked better and better.
Rodón pounded fastballs to the tune of four in every five pitches he threw. Of the 95 total pitches it took him to complete five shutout innings, 75 were fastballs . Even for a hurler who pitches off his fastball, it was excessive — but also effective. “The quality of that fastball is exactly what we should be talking about,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “These are really, really good hitters who are set up to handle that style of pitching and still are swinging and missing at balls in the zone, sometimes in the middle of the plate. It is a unique fastball. We haven’t seen many like it over the last couple of years.”
