BOSTON -- May is upon us, and David Price is still nine days -- at the absolute minimum -- from starting a minor-league rehab assignment that figures to determine how much he will be able to pitch for the Boston Red Sox this season.
What a time, then, for Eduardo Rodriguez to do his best Price impression.
The record will show that Rodriguez was out of Sunday night's game before the Red Sox scored four runs in an eighth-inning rally that began against their former closer, Koji Uehara, and decided a 6-2 victory in the rubber game of a three-game series against the world champion Chicago Cubs at Fenway Park.
