Yankees Sweep Rangers Behind Rodon, Vivas 1st Homer

Carlos Rodón delivered an impressive performance, pitching six innings of two-hit ball with eight strikeouts, securing his fifth consecutive win and helping the New York Yankees complete a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 1-0 victory. Rodón's season stats stand strong with a 2.88 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a strikeout rate above 30%, underscoring his dominance on the mound. Rookie Jorbit Vivas contributed significantly by hitting his first major league home run off Texas starter Nathan Eovaldi, which proved to be the game's only run. The Yankees have been on a hot streak, winning 11 of their last 14 games and becoming the second American League team to reach 30 wins this season. Despite Aaron Judge falling below a .400 batting average for the first time in over a month, the team’s pitching and timely hitting have kept their momentum. The Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi had his three-game winning streak halted, allowing one run and five hits in six innings, while the Yankees’ bullpen closed out the game effectively to maintain the shutout.
