Rodríguez silenced the Mancelona Torch, 1-0, in a Syracuse Storm triumph at Torch Field today. Despite the appearance of dominance, Rodríguez said later that he felt like he was struggling all game. He gave up 1 walk and 4 hits.
"It didn't feel quite right today, but I made the decision to bear down and work through it," he said. "I made a few mistakes but it goes to show what you can do with grit and not much else."
So far this season Rodríguez has compiled a 8-3 record with a 1.64 ERA.
