E-Rod, Sox blank Nats to secure sweep

The pitch mix was back for Eduardo Rodriguez on Wednesday afternoon, and so was the effectiveness. With key position players (Xander Bogaerts, Mitch Moreland) getting the day to rest, Rodriguez helped carry the Red Sox to a 3-0 victory to complete a three-game sweep of the Nationals at Nationals Park. By improving to 10-3 and lowering his ERA to 3.84, Rodriguez equaled his career high in wins, set in his rookie season of 2015.
