Eduardo Rodriguez took up his place in the starting rotation without missing a beat. Fastball velocity averaged 93, with most of the pitches in the strike zone (sometimes too much in the strike zone). Edro's fastball and changeup were an excellent combination, with enough contrast and enough movement to get swinging strikes on 4 changeups out of 15 swings off 23 changeups. Edro survived throwing 7 sliders, but grooved most of them middle-middle or middle-up, so he's still a two-pitch flyball pitcher who throws hard to contact. That's fine, for this outfield defense, but he's still not missing a lot of bats. Stamina could also be a problem -- Edro barely touched his 2015 fastball average of 94 mph, and fell off noticeably by the sixth inning.
Price-Wright-Porcello-Kelly-Edro looks like June's rotation.
