Aaron Boone discusses Yankees' 5-1 victory over the Guardians
On Wednesday, the New York Yankees secured a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Starter Carlos Rodon delivered a strong performance, pitching seven innings while allowing four hits, one run, and two walks, and recording eight strikeouts.
Reflecting on Rodon’s outing, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said (via MLB):
“Yeah, another strong one for him, gives up a first inning run there and then just really I thought got into a really good groove and better and better as he went. Just a really good presence with the fastball… pretty efficient for seven innings more excellence."
Boone also discussed the team’s offensive effort, saying:
“Obviously a lot of times today and couldn't kind of get that big hit to really put it away. But a lot of good at best to give us those opportunities. So good one to get here going into an off day after a couple tough ones.”
“So yeah, it was good. Look, I think there's so much room for us to still get better, though. There are still a few guys that we want to get on track… So want to still get a few guys going and feel like we have a chance to be a really good club. Here, you know definitely room for improvement, too.”
Yankees’ Aaron Judge hit an RBI triple in the first inning, followed by a Paul Goldschmidt RBI double to start the scoring. In the second, Ben Rice singled, followed by another single from Goldschmidt, adding to the tally.
In the seventh inning, Austin Wells hit a double, setting the final score of the game.
