It seems a shame after that amazing Eduardo Rodriguez start to risk a good day with a second game. But the schedule has no concern for such things, and the inclement weather that led to this doubleheader in the first place is nowhere in sight.
And so it is up to Rick Porcello to live up to the high standards set by the 22-year-old lefty ahead of him and take this one home. Or at least to earn a spot in the same sentence. Seven innings of two-hit ball is a fairly tall task to set before any pitcher.
