There are few better antidotes to a frustrating series than a series sweep. I, like many of you, hoped that the team’s sweep of Atlanta last week might provide the kind of spark they so desperately needed. Instead, they themselves were swept by a disappointing Reds team while scoring just six runs in the series. But the team managed to regroup, tighten up their defense, and delivering exactly the kind of performance they had to land in order to keep their season on track.
In his second start back from the IL, Eduardo Rodriguez continued the excellent momentum he started in Cincinnati when he worked five innings of two-run ball before one of the many rain delays ended his night.
