00:00On the mound for Arizona, 32-year-old left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.

00:04Big key for him is to have everything working.

00:06He's going to face a lefty and then eight righties in a row.

00:09It's stacked that way on the offensive side in hopes that they can get a rally going.

00:13But on the pitching side, if you start sequencing pitches,

00:16you can do the same thing to every single hitter for eight guys in a row.

00:19Swing and a miss. Struck him out on three pitches.

00:21The inning comes to an end.

00:22The Mariners score one but strayed two.

00:24And there's another swing and a miss on a fastball.

00:26He struck out two.

00:28Well, that particular at-bat reinforces my idea for Eduardo to simplify.

00:33You can throw six, seven, eight different pitches,

00:36but rely on the ones that you get out with.

00:40Reached four and missed. Down on strikes.

00:42And the inning comes to an end.

00:44Third strikeout for Erod. It's a one, two, three second.

00:47Oh, ugly swing and miss by Garber.

00:49Down on strikes. It's a one, two, three fourth inning.

00:52Rodriguez has struck out four.

00:54And he gets the strikeout of Moore for the second time.

00:56And that's five punch-outs for Eduardo.

00:59And there's one away in the fifth.

01:01And the check swing on a fastball well above the top of the strike zone that time.

01:05Hard to third.

01:06Geno with a terrific stop.

01:08Long throw.

01:09And Pavin with a tremendous play on the other end.

01:12Boy, Suarez has been a defensive standout throughout this series at third.

01:17And it's not like they're easy chances.

01:19He's had to field rockets to his left, right at him.

01:22This one to his right, a couple of steps, makes a nice backhanded play, right on the third baseline.

01:28And what a pick on the other end by Pavin Smith.

01:31Tori Lubello out to the mound.

01:32He's going to go get Eduardo Rodriguez, perhaps.

01:35He's got Maria already.

01:36An outstanding start, likely his best this year.

01:39Eduardo Rodriguez will leave in the seventh, leading 5-2.
