Rodriguez allowed one run on five hits (one home run) while walking two and striking out nine over six innings for a no-decision in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
Aside from his four-run outing in his season debut, E-Rod has allowed just four earned runs in his last three starts, dropping his ERA to a clean 2.70. The main damage he allowed in this one was a solo homer to Kris Bryant in the fifth inning. Rodriguez came into the season with sleeper hype and is delivering on it so far. He has fanned 31 while walking 14 in his four starts. Things are looking up for the promising 24-year-old.
