Rodriguez allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven across six innings Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision in an eventual win over the Rays.
A pair of runs crossed the plate in the first inning, they were unearned due to two fielding errors. However, Rodriguez became Wander Franco's first victim, as the young phenom blasted a three-run homer in the fifth inning for his first career hit. The 28-year-old's 6.07 ERA and 1.46 WHIP are the highest of his career, and he's 0-4 in his last eight starts. His 10.5 K/9 is about the only thing going right for him currently.
