Rodon throwing CG and allowing 1 run against a contending team certainly solidified or maybe even boosted his already high value.

Boosted it for sure. I think they let him do it partly for that reason. Lack of arms in the bullpen is another, but the Giants have sort of enforced a 6 or so inning max, even when it seemed the pitcher had plenty left.
