OAKLAND, Calif. -- The moment Boston Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez arrived at Oakland Coliseum on Thursday before the opener of a four-game series, he flashed back to his only career start against the Oakland Athletics last Sept. 4.
"As soon as I got here, I remembered all that," Rodriguez said Saturday.
How could he forget? Rodriguez pitched a no-hitter for 7 2/3 innings before giving up a single to shortstop Marcus Semien on a comebacker. The ground ball hit off Rodriguez's foot, but he got the ball and threw to first.
