Rodón breezed through 5 innings, completed 7 and earned his first win; his 21 strikeouts are most in MLB.
CLEVELAND — It was as if Carlos Rodón looked at his 12 strikeouts over five innings in his Giants debut and asked himself,Rodón took a decidedly different tact Friday against the Guardians in his second outing of the season but was equally as effective, even if it was all but impossible to be more impressive. Absent the preposterous rate Rodón missed bats in his first start, he replaced it with an even more cold-blooded efficiency .
Rodón limited the Guardians to two hits over seven innings and needed only 47 pitches to make it through the first five frames. With nine more strikeouts Friday, no pitcher in the majors has more than Rodón’s 21 so far this season. Through his first two starts, Rodón has pitched 12 innings and allowed two runs, a 1.50 ERA.
Joc Pederson padded the lead with a solo shot of his own in the sixth inning, going 410 feet to straightaway center for his second home run in a Giants uniform . And Bart provided more insurance with a rocket of a two-run shot to left — his team-leading third of the season, blasted off the bat at 109.1 mph — after Cleveland had pulled within 2-1.
