Eduardo Rodríguez Throws Seven Scoreless in Diamondbacks' 9-0 Win Over Pirates

His early-season form signals a new anchor for a rotation searching for consistent starts.

Overview

  • Rodríguez held Pittsburgh scoreless over seven innings Tuesday in Phoenix, allowing two hits with seven strikeouts in a 9-0 win.
  • Arizona broke the game open with a five-run sixth inning that featured a two-run double from shortstop Geraldo Perdomo.
  • The victory ended a four-game losing streak, Arizona's fourth win in 13 games.
  • The left-hander is 3-0 with a 2.50 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP through 39.2 innings this season, giving the club its steadiest starter to date.
  • Team context remains shaky as Diamondbacks starters have a 5.20 ERA, which local reporting says is the worst mark in MLB.
