Rodriguez allowed five earned runs on four hits while walking two and striking out 10 across six innings Saturday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.
Rodriguez was burned by the long ball, giving up two home runs to Joey Gallo and a three-run homer to Delino DeShields. Home runs hadn't been an issue for him entering Saturday's start, so this may be just an isolated problem for one start that came in a relatively home-run-friendly park. His 10 strikeouts shouldn't be completely overshadowed by his otherwise poor start, as he continues to miss plenty of bats and now has 39 strikeouts through 32.1 innings this season.
