After spending the first part of his career pitching for a playoff perennial in the Boston Red Sox, Tigers lefty Eduardo Rodriguez has had to adjust to pitching for an also-ran this season. It has truly been a trying season for Rodriguez who has won just five games and spent a large portion of the season dealing with both injuries and personal problems. Since his return, Rodriguez has shown some of the ability that made him an offseason priority for the Tigers this year. Rodriguez is 2-1 with a 3.77 ERA in his last five starts.
