Francisco Rodriguez took his third loss already after giving up a two-run homer to San Diego’s Mark Kotsay in his inning of work Tuesday.
Rodriguez obviously isn’t thrilled to be in a setup role, and one wonders if that might have something to do with his struggles. He’s walked eight and allowed two homers in 12 1/3 innings to start the year. Last year, he had a total of 10 walks and one homer allowed in 29 innings for the Brewers.
