Can't escape fourth inning Rodriguez (7-6) allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks with eight strikeouts over 3.1 innings in Thursday's loss to Toronto. Impact Rodriguez flashed good stuff at times but struggled with his command en route to a season-high four walks. The Blue Jays ambushed him for three runs in the first inning, two of them coming on a Teoscar Hernandez double, and eventually chased the southpaw from the game after Rodriguez issued a bases-loaded walk to Marcus Semien in the fourth that made it 5-0. It was the second straight abbreviated start for Rodriguez, who departed his previous outing after one inning due to migraine issues. He'll take a 5.60 ERA and 1.41 WHIP (99.2 innings) into his next start.
