The final line on Eduardo Rodriguez was messy. The Chicago White Sox roughed him up for five runs, including a pair of homers. It certainly wasn’t a quality start and he didn’t earn credit for the win yet there are some positives that the Boston Red Sox can take away from the lefty’s performance.
When Jon Jay gave himself up with a sacrifice bunt to move the go-ahead run into scoring position it marked a milestone for Rodriguez. It would be the only out that Rodriguez secured in the seventh but it ensured he would record at least 6 1/3 innings in three consecutive starts for the first time in his career.
