Rodriguez struck out eight Blue Jays over six sharp innings Tuesday, but he didn't receive a decision in the eventual 19-inning win.
The young lefty's strong start had already passed into memory by the time this game finally ended 13 innings after he'd departed, but you can be sure that Rodriguez's embattled fantasy owners took notice of his improvement. After all, he'd given up five runs in two straight starts coming in. Walks and homers have remained issues for Rodriguez in his third major-league campaign, as he's failed to evolve much on the mound to this point in his career. However, his strikeout ability and team context keep him in the fantasy conversation.
