The Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night 8-1 to start out the second half of the season, and Eduardo Rodriguez was fantastic on the mound for Boston.
Manager Alex Cora noted that he thought Rodriguez’s fastball was a real difference-maker in Friday night’s game, and that he did a very good job controlling the play for Boston. The lefty tossed seven innings, striking out 10 and allowing just one run on five hits.
