BOSTON -- Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez has taken his lumps in his rookie season, most recently giving up seven runs against the Angels in Anaheim last Monday without making it out of the second inning.
In most of his starts, though, the 22-year-old fireballer has been nothing shy of fantastic. He bounced back in a big way on Sunday night at Fenway Park, holding the Tigers to one run on three hits over seven innings in an 11-1 Red Sox win.
"He stayed in command of the count the entire time," manager John Farrell said.
