Carlos Rodón gave up four runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings Monday in the Game 2 loss to the Royals.
Rodón was amped up initially, striking out the side on 12 pitches in the first. His velocity was well up, too, but the Royals got to him the second time through the order, collecting four hits, including a homer, in the fourth. Rodón struck out seven and walked none, but it wasn’t enough tonight.
