EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez was given a lead in the 12th inning, but allowed a leadoff homer to Gregory Polanco to blow his second save of the season. Even with the blown save, it's been a great season for the 33-year-old veteran. Rodriguez has completely changed his arsenal as his velocity has been down. He now relies on a change-up at a career-high rate and it's the pitch that has salvaged his career. Rodriguez has allowed a career-high in runs off his fastball and his change-up is one of the best in baseball, as that pitch is 16.8 runs above average compared to league average.
