Rodriguez allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers. The left-hander needed 88 pitches to get 13 outs and had multiple baserunners in three of his innings.
Rodriguez's biggest faux-pas was leaving a pitch up in the zone to A.J. Ellis with two runners on and the pitcher due up next. Ellis delivered a single to plate the Dodgers first run. He just didn't have the command he had in his previous start against Seattle. The left-hander is next scheduled to pitch Friday (Aug. 12) at home against the Diamondbacks.
