Eduardo Rodriguez gave up three runs with six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in a loss against the Rockies on Saturday.
Rodriguez had some trouble in the first inning, giving up two runs on four hits. Two more hits in the second brought a third run home for the Rockies. After it looked like he’d get chased early, he settled in to pitch into the sixth without giving up another run, keeping the Diamondbacks in the game. He struck out six. The 33-year-old left-hander will take a 2.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 39/22 K/BB ratio across 53 1/3 innings into a rematch against the Rockies in Arizona on Thursday.
