Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez suffered his first career loss, dropping to 2-1 after Sunday's game against Toronto.
"It was a little bit out of control," Rodriguez said, per MLB.com. "I just have to throw better pitches. You try to make the right pitches, they just got a lot of base hits."
Rodriguez allowed nine runs in 4 2/3 innings. He'd given up just one over his first 20 2/3 MLB innings. Rodriguez gave up eight hits and three walks, striking out one.
"I mean, I just tried to make good pitches, like you saw," Rodriguez said. "The rest, getting wild a bit, with balls. Stuff like that happens in the game."
Rodriguez's next start is Friday, at Kansas City.
