Well Eduardo Rodriguez’s return to action went pretty darn well in Game 1 of Thursday’s doubleheader. The left-hander’s velocity was up near the mid-90’s as he punched out nine Cubs in four innings of work, allowing just two hits. Jose Cisnero followed with a scoreless inning of work with one walk and one strike out, so the rehab team was shining in this one.
There wasn’t a whole lot of offense out of the Mud Hens either. Akil Baddoo and Riley Greene each walked once, and neither struck out, but they went hitless as the Hens managed just three hits of their own.
