More than anything, this game was probably a reminder on why pitcher wins doesn’t matter for evaluation purposes. Eduardo Rodriguez was not sharp in this one, looking as bad as he has maybe at any point in the second half. The Rangers were all over him and he really struggled to get through five innings. Alex Cora wasn’t going to pull him with the lead — which he had because the Red Sox offense was dominant in the first half of this game — before he got through five unless his arm fell off, though.
