E-Rod shines again, while Kimbrel gets roughed up in 6-5 loss
FORT MYERS – Instead of his health, the questions about Eduardo Rodriguez are beginning to fall heavily in favor of his performance.
That's a most promising sign for both him and the Red Sox.
“Last year, I wasn't throwing in spring training, this is first time I'm feeling really good in spring training -- I feel much better,” said Rodriguez after this four-inning stint in the Red Sox' 6-5 loss to the Phillies Sunday. He allowed a home run to No. 9 hitter Roman Quinn and a triple to ex-Red Sox Daniel Nava, but Rodriguez pitched much sharper than those two pitches showed. He struck out three Phillies, walked only one and allowed one other hit.
