Overview
- Carlos Rodón, who debuted Sunday after October elbow surgery, averaged 95.7 mph on his fastball and touched 97.7 mph in Milwaukee.
- He lasted 4 1/3 innings with five walks, a hit batter and a wild pitch, throwing only 42 strikes in 78 pitches.
- Control trouble flipped the game in the fourth inning after two walks and a hit batter led to a sacrifice fly and a two-out, two-run single by Blake Perkins.
- The Yankees fell 4-3 to the Brewers to complete a weekend sweep, and Aaron Boone praised Rodón’s stuff while calling the walks the bugaboo to fix.
- Rodón’s return followed a brief hamstring setback in late March, and his command gains now loom as the key to adding real value to a rotation that entered the day with MLB’s best ERA.
