Carlos Rodón criticizes Red Sox pitching after Yankees' victory

The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 16-1 on Sunday. Following the game, Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón responded to comments made by Red Sox broadcaster Will Flemming regarding the Yankees' conduct. During the broadcast, Flemming criticized Jazz Chisholm Jr. for stealing two bases in the eighth inning and suggested pitcher Jovani Morán intentionally threw at Austin Wells. Rodón rejected these criticisms, asserting that the onus lies on the opponent to improve their performance rather than policing the behavior of the opposition. He stated that the league does not prioritize courtesy and that players are focused on competitive success. The interaction highlights ongoing tensions within the rivalry between the two teams, even as the Red Sox did not publicly object to the base running during the match.
