Carlos Rodón found himself in a unique situation in his return from the injured list Thursday, pitching in the rain in a stadium that has a roof.
There was even a brief delay in the fifth inning for the grounds crew to work on the Rogers Centre mound while the ballpark officials closed the roof.
“I guess it didn’t handle the rain too well,” Rodón said of the mound. “It was kind of slick, felt a little sticky there, so I figured just take advantage of getting the mound fixed up and let that roof close a little more and the rain would eventually just go away because the roof was going to close.
