CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon flipped his glove into the stands as he walked off the field. New England Patriots Shirts .Yeah. Give it to a fan is better than throwing it away, he said.It was that kind of Tuesday night for Rodon, who struggled again as the Chicago White Sox lost 9-0 to the New York Yankees. The left-hander matched season highs by allowing six runs and 12 hits in five innings while dropping to 0-3 with a 4.93 ERA in his last six starts.It comes down to command, manager Robin Ventura said. This is the wrong lineup to be erratic and get behind. It just seemed like every hitter was 2-0, 2-1 and you just cant do it.Brett Gardner had four of New Yorks season-high 20 hits, and Chase Headley hit a two-run homer for the second straight day. Austin Romine also connected, and Masahiro Tanaka (6-2) pitched into the eighth inning while improving to 4-1 with a 1.14 ERA in eight road starts.Everyone really getting a chance to swing the bat well today and everyone contributing, thats always nice, New York manager Joe Girardi said.Carlos Beltran, who had three hits, and relievers Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances were picked for the All-Star Game from the Yankees, and White Sox ace Chris Sale joined the trio on the AL roster announced before New Yorks win.Im fortunate, man, the 39-year-old Beltran said. Every single one is special, and this one will be special also.Chicago (43-41) had won three in a row and six of eight, but it was completely shut down by Tanaka. The Japanese right-hander allowed six hits and walked one in 7 2/3 innings.Once they got the lead he just seemed to get into a nice little groove of throwing a few more fastballs but slowing it down, Ventura said. He had some that were in the 70s. Hes just able to keep you off balance.Beltran singled in the first but was stranded at third when Headley struck out with the bases loaded. Beltran hit an RBI single in New Yorks two-run second, then doubled and scored in the fourth for a 5-0 lead.Rodon (2-7) struck out three and walked two. He threw 59 of his 92 pitches for strikes.With regards to everything, gotta move on from this one and just forget about it, he said. Come back after the All-Star break and think of it as a new season.HELLO A-RODYankees slugger Alex Rodriguez served as the designated hitter in his first start since Thursday -- before a weekend series at San Diego. He went 1 for 6 with a first-inning double.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: OF Jacoby Ellsbury was held out of the lineup.

Get a MRI in the morning and see the severity, he said. ... 1B Justin Morneau, coming back from left elbow surgery, went 0 for 2 and was hit by a pitch in his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte. The timing is the most important thing, he said in a phone interview before the game. You know, see pitches. The results at this point Im not too worried about that.UP NEXTRHPs Michael Pineda of the Yankees and Miguel Gonzalez of the White Sox face off in the series finale on Wednesday night. Pineda (3-7, 5.24 ERA) went 1-1 with a 2.75 ERA in six June starts. Gonzalez (1-4, 4.88 ERA) pitched seven solid innings at Houston on Friday, but dropped to 0-3 with a 7.25 ERA in his last four outings.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Jake Bailey Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. Patriots Jerseys 2019 . Having already announced that the race will start May 9 with three stages in Northern Ireland and Ireland and finish in Trieste on June 1, the rest of the route was unveiled Monday. https://www.patriotsjerseysale.com/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. NEW YORK -- All the New York Mets have to do in order to produce their first winning streak in more than a month is get the best of a pitcher whose most extensive start came against high schoolers.The Mets will look for that elusive second straight win Sunday, when they host the San Diego Padres in the finale of a three-game series at Citi Field. New York snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday night with a 3-2, 11-inning win.Mets left-hander Steven Matz is scheduled to oppose Padres left-hander Clayton Richard, who took a decidedly unique path to his first major league start of the season, Richard made 25 relief appearances with the Chicago Cubs before being designated for assignment on July 26.In hopes of keeping sharp for his next club, Richard took the mound the very next day, when he threw 65 pitches against an All-Star team of 15- and 16-year-olds in his hometown of Lafayette, Ind. The Padres signed Richard, who pitched for the club from 2009 through 2013, on Aug. 5.He didnt tell me if he dominated them or not, so I didnt get the full game report, Padres manager Andy Green said with a grin. He didnt show me the video or the boxscore, so I just kind of assume he did well. If (Sunday) doesnt go well, well have to ask him for the box score.Richard allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings over two relief appearances before moving into the rotation for the Padres (50-66), who are trying to limit the innings of their starters during a stretch of 16 games in as many days. Only two current San Diego starters, Christian Friedrich and Luis Perdomo, have made 10 starts for the club this season and only one, right-hander Jarred Cosart, started a game in the majjors last season. Stephon Gilmore Jersey. .Where we are right now, its about their health moving forward, Green said. This 16-day stretch, late in the season where guys like Christian Friedrich (are) way past their innings limits from the previous year, it just makes sense.Richard will be limited to about 75 pitches in his first major league start since Aug. 2, 2015.The Mets are hoping to build on the momentum theyve generated over the last two days. New York nearly came back from a six-run deficit in an 8-6 loss on Friday night, when a trio of relievers combined to retire the Padres final 19 batters.On Saturday, right-hander Jacob deGrom carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning -- extending the Padres hitless streak to 10 2/3 innings -- and allowed just one run on three hits over seven innings on a hope Matz can follow in the footsteps of right-hander Jacob deGrom, who allowed one run on three hits over seven innings on a night when the first pitch temperature was 91 degrees.Hopefully this is the start of something and we just kind of relax and continue to get big hits and continue to pitch, Mets manager Terry Collins said, Jake was good and (Sunday) we need Matzie to step up.The defending National League champion Mets (58-58) have not won consecutive games since July 6-7. They are 11-20 since that winning streak but are still only 2 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the NLs second wild card.Every win is big, especially now, deGrom said. Were trying to make it to the playoffs. We need to win as many as we can. ' ' '
