The Venezuelan opener Eduardo Rodríguez had a weak start and his numbers were not the best in the first games with the Detroit Tigers, however, as the games went by, the native has improved remarkably and seems to be fully in tune.
During his first two outings of the 2023 campaign, the left-hander received seven runs, to rack up a high 6.30 ERA and take the loss in both outingss, but since April 12 his course changed completely.

From the second week of this month, a completely different E-Rod was seen, with high quality starts. In fact, his last performance was this Saturday once morest the Orioles, a duel where he dazzled with his pitches.
In this work, the native allowed four hits and just one run during five episodes and two thirds, to keep the award. Rodríuez also struck out five rivals and gave away two passportsbut this did not “scratch” his important performance in the positive result of Detroit.

With this extraordinary opening, the opener accumulates four games started with excellent records:
The Tigers pitcher has allowed just two runs in 26.2 innings pitched, fanned out 24 opponents and walked only three, to boast an outstanding ERA of just 0.68.
Nevertheless Eduardo has won two of those four duels and in another two he went without a decisiondue to the low contribution in the offense of the ninth feline.
Eduardo Rodríguez has a 0.68 ERA in his last four outings. Only once in his career was he able to do something similar.
In 2018, with Boston, he had a 0.40 ERA over four starts.#MLB #RepDetroit

Currently the Venezuelan’s records are two games won, two losses, with a 2.21 earned run percentage (sixth best in the American League) and 30 strikeouts, in a period of 36.2 episodes.
The left-hander had a difficult start to the season, however, his performance has already improved and he has straightened his course, a level Detroit management expects him to maintain for the rest of the season.
