The Red Sox have won two games in a row for the first time in 2019. Eduardo Rodriguez also helped provide the team with a first for the year, picking up Boston’s first victory for a starting pitcher. We know wins don’t always tell the story of a performance for a pitcher, but in this case it was absolutely well-deserved. This was as strong as Rodriguez has looked on the mound for a long time. He was attacking hitters and mixing up his pitches, with his changeup looking particularly impressive. He did end things on a sour note by giving up a two-run homer, but that was all the damage he allowed on the day.
