Rodriguez (0-1) took the loss and blew the save Saturday in the 10th inning of the Red Sox's loss to the Mariners, as he allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits while recording just one out, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Closer Kenley Jansen was unavailable due to back tightness, which allowed Rodriguez to step in for the save chance. Teammates Chris Martin, Greg Weissert and Isaiah Campbell had already pitched in the game. If Jansen goes on the IL, Martin would likely get first dibs on closing duties.
