Eduardo Rodriguez has once again called into question whether he will
ever reach the peak of his potential. Gifted with brilliant stuff, the lefty seems to take two steps forward and three back in his career. Last night—it was
four steps back, in one of the biggest games of the year. For the second straight game, Rodriguez gave up
big run totals and high pitch counts early—ultimately coughing up five eared runs in just six innings of work in
the eventual 8-1 dubbing. Boston's bats went silent again, with only
Mookie Betts and newcomer
Steve Pearce getting multiple-hit games. This one was a stinker throughout, and it now falls to
Chris Sale to right the ship tonight against
The Evil Ones.
