Red Sox's Eduardo Rodriguez: Strikes out seven in win

Rodriguez earned the win in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Astros on Monday, striking out seven and walking none while giving up three runs on five hits in six innings of work.

Rodriguez wasn't handed a particularly tough task Monday, as his teammates gave him a 6-0 lead after two innings and a 9-0 lead after three. He did give back three runs on a Kyle Tucker homer in the top of the fourth, so his performance may not have been good enough on a different day, but it was an overall encouraging outing. He'll be on turn to start Game 7 on Saturday if the series goes the distance.
