Red Sox 6, Orioles 2: First to 20
Photo by Patrick Smith/ And Eduardo Rodriguez keeps Baltimore in check. While the Red Sox win on Thursday was not the prettiest victory in the history of baseball, they did get a bright spot in Franchy Cordero snapping out of an extended slump with a multi-hit day. On Friday, it was Bobby Dalbec’s turn. He smacked a base hit in his first at bat, then had a huge homer in the next one. The homer would end up being the difference in this game and push the Red Sox to victory. Boston also got a good start from Rodriguez in which he managed to put up results without his...

Red Sox at Orioles lineup: The cellar tour continues
Go get ‘em. | Raymond Carlin III-USA TODAY Sports Eduardo Rodriguez looks to rebound from a subpar performance tonight in Bo’more. The Red Sox finish their string of AL cellar-dwelling opponents when they visit the plucky Orioles tonight (7:05 p.m., NESN) in Baltimore behind Eduardo Rodriguez, who looks to bounce back after his first poor start on the year. The Sox are 3-4 so far on this run of lower-tier opponents, and the Orioles may be playing the best of that bunch. At 15-16, they’re just one game back of the Yankees, thanks to players like Matt Harvey, who...

Red Sox 6, Rangers 8: Rodriguez fumbles, Andriese explodes, Sawamura fizzles
Raymond Carlin III-USA TODAY Sports The Red Sox gave up way too many runs. It doesn’t matter if you score a billion runs if the other team scores a billion+1. Such was the fate of the Red Sox tonight. The Red Sox trotted out Eduardo Rodriguez - who had a fantastic first month back in a Red Sox uniform - out there against the Texas Rangers and Jordan Lyles. Lyles had struggled entering today’s game with an ERA of 6.75 in his first 24 innings of the campaign, so today’s game represented a great chance for the Red Sox bats to catch fire again, and hopefully begin a...

Red Sox at Rangers lineup: Can Eduardo Rodriguez continue his magical run?
Long Cy. | David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports He’s only gotten better after his career-threatening illnesses; how is that possible? The Red Sox, their bats awakened in the Friday Texas twilight, will look to take the series lead against the Rangers behind Eduardo Rodriguez tonight in Arlington (7:05 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market). E-Rod looks to continue a run of increasingly great starts, which, after his COVID-19 and myocarditis diagnoses last year, are something of a miracle, writes FanGraphs’s Carmen Ciardiello: He has come back and become a markedly more...

Eduardo Rodriguez’s strong start has been fueled by more changeups and fewer walks
Photo by Kathryn Riley/ Eduardo Rodriguez is doing a few things differently this year and it could mean big things for a pitcher already at the top of the Red Sox’s rotation. On Sunday, Eduardo Rodriguez pitched what many people would call a gem. He worked seven innings of three-run ball while striking out eight batters, helping the Red Sox to a 5-3 win over the Mariners. It was just what any staff would want from a pitcher who was originally pegged to be the Opening Day starter. Sunday’s outing was far from an anomaly compared with Rodriguez’s other starts from...

Daily Red Sox Links: Eduardo Rodriguez, Franchy Cordero, Michael Chavis
Staff Photo By Nancy Lane/MediaNews Group/Boston Herald Eduardo Rodriguez is a really good pitcher, and he’s certainly showing that so far this year at the top of the rotation.

Red Sox 5, Mariners 3: Walking home with the W
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports Drawing walks is fun. Winning is even more fun. The Red Sox did both today. For the final game of the Red Sox-Mariners series, and the final game of the longest homestand of the season, we were treated to a matchup between Eduardo Rodriguez of the Red Sox and Nick Margevicius of the Mariners. Worth noting that Margevicius left his previous game early (after 78 pitches in the 4th inning) with arm fatigue. Margevicius has also failed to pitch beyond four innings in any of his outings thus far this season. Unfortunately, the Sox started...
