Rodriguez youngest Red Sox starter to win MLB debut on road since '67, 5-1 over Rangers


Red Sox lefty Rodriguez wins MLB debut, 5-1 at Texas


By STEPHEN HAWKINS | ASSOCIATED PRESS | 23 minutes ago


ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Eduardo Rodriguez went to bed and dreamed about his major league debut after the Boston Red Sox arrived in Texas.
The real thing Thursday night was even better for the 22-year-old left-hander.


Rodriguez threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings to become the youngest Red Sox starter to win in his major league debut on the road since 1967, and Boston beat the Rangers 5-1 to spoil Josh Hamilton's first home game back in Texas on Thursday night.


"I wasn't nervous after the first couple of pitches," Rodriguez said. "I went out and saw the lights and saw the stadium, and said, 'This is what it's like.'"


Already the youngest Red Sox pitcher to make his MLB debut on the road since 21-year-old Roger Clemens in 1985, Rodriguez became the youngest since Billy Rohr was 21 when winning his debut at the New York Yankees on April 14, 1967.

Of note: Rodriguez was the minor leaguer the Red Sox got from the Orioles when they dealt Andrew Miller last summer.

He looked sharp. Reminded me of a young Tom Glavine.

Red Sox needed something positive to happen.
