HOUSTON -- Wandy Rodriguez did not get the chance to pitch the Rangers' first complete game of the season on Tuesday night even though he seemed to be cruising toward that destination for eight innings.
But there were a few other noteworthy accomplishments achieved beyond the simple fact that Rodriguez was outstanding in pitching the Rangers to a 7-1 win over the Astros on Tuesday night.
Rodriguez earned his first Major League win since May 26, 2013, when he was pitching for the Pirates against the Brewers. He did so pitching against the Astros, his original organization and the team he played for from 2005-12 before being traded to the Pirates.
