Nearly one month after being activated from the disabled list and making his season debut, Rodriguez was demoted Eli Harold Nike Jerseys to Triple-A Pawtucket.The move came late Monday night after the 25-year-old lefty was lit up for nine runs on 11 hits in 2 2/3 innings of a 13-7 throttling by the Tampa Bay Rays, who averaged 2.6 runs per game in their previous 11 games, all losses.It turns out Eduardo Rodriguez is not the Boston Red Sox's savior.
"Felt like he was back to a place after his start five days ago that would carry him through," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "They bunched a number of hits together. They squared up a number of pitches tonight. It was disappointing."
Rodriguez gave up hits to six of the first eight Rays batters and allowed five runs in the first inning, continuing Ryan Mathews Youth Jersey a theme that has plagued each of the Red Sox's starters. In the past 15 games, Boston has been outscored 22-0 in the first inning after outscoring its opponents 60-32 in the previous 61 games.
But it got even worse for Rodriguez in the third. He gave up four more runs, including a leadoff homer by Desmond Jennings and a two-run shot by Logan Forsythe to give the Rays a 9-0 lead. In particular, Rodriguez struggled to command his slider, a pitch that has been essential to his success.
"It's something I have to keep working on," Rodriguez said before learning of his demotion Danielle Hunter Limited Jersey in a meeting with Dombrowski, Farrell and pitching coach Carl Willis. "Fix that and make that a better pitch to use instead of just fastball and changeup. Work in that slider to get better."
The Red Sox had high hopes for Rodriguez, especially after he went 10-6 with a 3.85 ERA in 21 starts as a rookie last year.
He missed the season's first two months while recovering from a spring training knee injury, but upon his return May 31 in Baltimore, Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski likened Rodriguez's addition to the rotation to a big midseason trade.
Instead, Rodriguez has allowed http://www.jetsnflofficialshop.com/Authentic-Darrelle-Revis-Jersey at least four runs in five of his six starts. He has suffered from a lack of trust in his offspeed pitches and out-of-whack mechanics stemming from his knee injury.
