After a stellar outing from Rodrigue,z and some big help from Ty Blach out of the bullpen, the San Francisco Giants pulled away with a 6-3 win.
Time and time again, the San Francisco Giants starting rotation has struggled. Multiple injuries and the inability to go deep in ballgames has hurt them immensely — enter Dereck Rodriguez.
Using his combination of consistently throwing first-pitch strikes and strong command of the fastball, Rodriguez dazzled. Though he only struck out four and surrendered 7 hits, stats don’t tell the whole story.
Dereck Rodriguez stayed around the strike zone, throwing 61 strikes out of his 94 pitches and never walked a batter.
