Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Short outing Saturday
Eduardo Rodriguez allowed four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.Rodriguez failed to complete five innings for the fourth time over six starts in September. He was pulled at 62 pitches (41 strikes) Saturday, and it was likely due to him pitching into a jam that Kevin Ginkel was able to escape from. Rodriguez concludes the regular season with a 5.04 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB over 50 innings across 10 starts. It's unclear whether Rodriguez would work as a starter or a reliever if the Arizona Diamondbacks are able to make the playoffs.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Fans 11 in Wednesday's win
Eduardo Rodriguez (3-3) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over 6.1 innings in a 9-4 victory over the Rockies. He struck out 11.The veteran southpaw navigated Coors Field to set a new season high in strikeouts, and the strikeout total was his best in that category since he fanned a dozen Phillies almost exactly five years ago, on Sept. 14, 2019. Rodriguez picked up his first win since Aug. 20 along with his first quality start of the year, and the 6.1 innings also represented his longest outing of the season. He didn't make his 2024 debut until Aug. 7 due to shoulder issues that cropped up in spring training, and while his 5.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB through 40.2 innings aren't particularly impressive, he could be rounding into form just in time to help Arizona lock up a playoff spot. Rodriguez lines up to make his next start at home early next week against the Giants.

Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Shaky command in Saturday's loss
Eduardo Rodriguez (2-2) took the loss Saturday as the Arizona Diamondbacks were downed 11-5 by the Astros, giving up five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out one.The southpaw threw just 49 of his 88 pitches for strikes, and Houston batters got plenty of wood on the ones Rodriguez did get over the plate. The 31-year-old hasn't provided the boost to the Arizona rotation that the team was hoping for since he came off the IL in early August -- over six starts and 29.1 innings this season, he's stumbled to a 5.83 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB. Rodriguez will look to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.
