Eduardo Rodriguez, who may get the ball on Opening Day three weeks from Thursday, struck out six Yankees in three innings on Saturday. He allowed two hits and no walks.
On Sunday, Nathan Eovaldi worked on his slider and struck out four in three shutout innings against Atlanta. He has been sharp in both of his starts this spring.
I had consistent break with [the slider]. I tinkered around with the grip a little bit, but the command on my off-speed pitches has been really good and my mechanics are really good right now.
