Rodriguez followed up an impressive Spring Training by playing great for the Buffalo Bisons. In 6.1 innings, he has struck out 10 batters allowing 1 hit, 3 walks and 0 runs.

The Blue Jays signed Rodriguez to a 5-year $32 million contract last winter in hopes that he would be a promising pitcher in the big leagues which we will finally get to see in action today.
