| Wandy Rodriguez comes out on top |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/21/13) Pirates starting pitcher Wandy Rodriguez fell behind early Tuesday against the Cubs, but managed to hold on long enough for a quality start and the win.
Rodriguez allowed three runs in the second inning, on four hits, but otherwise held the Cubs silent all game long. He ultimately allowed just the three runs on six hits in six innings of work, while striking out five batters and walking none.
He needed just 87 pitches to finish his six innings of work. He exited the game down 3-0, but the Pirates rallied back in the bottom half of the sixth to put him in line for the win. Pittsburgh would hold on for a 5-4 victory, Rodriguez's fifth of the season. He lowered his ERA to 3.40.
Rodriguez is expected to make his next start Sunday, against the Brewers. He had his worst start of the season against the Brewers in April, but bounce back to limit them to one run in seven innings May 15.

Hit Parade for Week 8

| Wandy Rodriguez took a step back in Fantasy last season and saw a change of scenery after going 7-9 with a 3.79 ERA in 21 starts for the Astros. He was traded to the Pirates at the deadline and went 5-4 with a 3.72 ERA in 13 appearances (12 starts) down the stretch. The 3.76 ERA he finished with was his worst mark since 2007 and he also posted his lowest strikeout total (139) since 2008. The left-hander had been a reliable option in Fantasy despite pitching in the hitter-friendly Minute Maid Park, but at age 33, he could be on the downside of his career. Rodriguez should see better run support in Pittsburgh and those owners who think he can bounce back should target him in the middle-to-late rounds on Draft Day. Leaving him for deeper formats could be a safer bet, however. (Updated 12/4/12) |
