Winter Leagues: Rodriguez Dominates in Dominican Finals; Playoffs End in Australia

Only three Pittsburgh Pirates are still in action at this point, so this is a quick recap of the last week in winter baseball. We will have a full winter recap next weekend as the final article.

In the Dominican, Richard Rodriguez and his team won the league title and moved on to the Caribbean Series. Rodriguez started this week off by throwing a shutout inning on Tuesday, striking out the side in his team's 5-2 win. In game seven on Wednesday, he threw two shutout innings, with one hit and three strikeouts, as his team won 11-5 to advance to the Caribbean Series.
