Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón got off to a terrific start in his Game 2 outing against the Royals, with TBS broadcaster Ron Darling proclaiming he had “no-hit stuff.” The lefty seemed to relish in his performance,

The Yankees took a 1–0 lead in the third on a Gleyber Torres walk and singles by Austin Wells and Giancarlo Stanton. Then, perhaps, Rodón started overthinking. Up came Salvador Pérez, who has hit .462 with three home runs in 27 plate appearances against Rodón.
