July 6, 2025 2:05 AM : Rodon (9-6) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Analysis: Rodon struggled from the get-go, as he gave up a grand slam to Brandon Nimmo in the first inning. The southpaw surrendered another homer -- this time a two-run shot by Pete Alonso -- in the fifth frame, so the long ball was the main culprit in Rodon yielding a season-worst six earned runs. The veteran hurler still has a respectable 3.30 ERA on the campaign, but that mark is a much less desirable 5.34 across his past six starts. Rodon will try to rebound his next time out, though he's lined up for another tough matchup against the Cubs.
