Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez dazzles Yankees in first spring start

Today was our first taste of the always testy rivalry between the Red Sox and Yankees of the 2020 season. Though it’s just spring training the heat is always on high between these two clubs. It may not always boil over onto the stove but neither ever wants to give an inch to the other.

This afternoon’s clash gave Red Sox Nation their first sighting of Eduardo Rodriguez this season and he didn’t disappoint. The southpaw tossed a strong three innings while striking out six batters and surrendering just a pair of hits. Unfortunately for Boston, New York was able to get the last laugh with a 5-2 victory, but Eddie Aces did his job.
