Nick Rodriguez turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over seven innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than six strikeouts. On the season, Rodriguez has an ERA of 1.61 over 65.3 innings pitched.
Rodriguez's strong effort led River City over McClatchy and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Rodriguez has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.9 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering McClatchy has only allowed 7.77 per game this season.
