The lefty turned in his best outing of the season, firing seven strong innings without allowing an earned run. Rodón struck out eight, walked just two, and navigated trouble with veteran poise, showing why the Yankees brought him in to be a rotation anchor. This was also Rodón’s second straight dominant start.

The Philadelphia Phillies avoided what would’ve been their first home series loss in nearly nine months by taking the finale of a four-game set against the San Francisco Giants, 6-4, on Thursday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The win salvaged a series split after the Giants claimed the first two games and looked poised to leave town with a series win. The Phillies haven’t dropped a series at home since they were swept by the Yankees in late July of last season.
