Carlos Rodon Throws 10+ K’s for the 8th Game in 2022, Ranks 2nd in MLB in K’s

Former NC State All-American Pitcher Carlos Rodon threw 10+ strikeouts for the 8th time this season last night, which is the most since Tim Lincecum had eight 10+ performances in 2009. Rodon had 10 strikeouts (0 walks) in 7 innings pitched, while only giving up one earned run against the Tigers, picking up his 12th win of the season in the Giants 3-1 victory.

If Rodon manages 1 more 10+ K performance in 2022, he will tie the San Francisco record (9) held by Tim Lincecum (2008) and Jason Schmidt (2004).

Rodon’s 189 strikeouts currently rank 2nd in the MLB in 2022.

1. Corbin Burnes – 190
2. Carlos Rodon – 189
2. Gerritt Cole – 189
4. Dylan Cease – 182
5. Aaron Nola – 174

Rodon now sports a record of 12-6 with an ERA of 2.81 and a WHIP of 1.03.
