Rodriguez allowed five runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out two over 4.2 innings of an 8-3 loss to Cleveland on Friday night. He gave up two runs in the top of the first inning, but his mates scored three in the bottom of the frame to give him a lead. The Indians then scored in the fourth and fifth innings to chase him. It was a struggle throughout as Rodriguez (1-2, 3.86 ERA) needed 101 pitches (64 for strikes) and didn't make it out of the fifth. He has been extremely inconsistent so far this season and would have to be considered a risky play right now.
