In case you missed it, Carlos Rodón was electric on Sunday. Beyond electric. He struck out 10 batters in seven innings, while allowing just two baserunners, which helped the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-0, and secure a very rare winning streak.
If that’s how we bid farewell to Rodón, then it’s an impressive send off. It was just the fifth time all season a player had 10 or more strikeouts in seven or more innings while allowing two or fewer hits and no walks. Arbitrary endpoints? Absolutely. But they paint to the dynamic force he is on the mound.
