Rodríguez allowed six runs on five hits in 3 1/3 innings on Wednesday and will now head back to the minors to allow the Brewers to bring up a fresh arm for their bullpen.

As tends to happen, Rodríguez loses his spot after saving the Brewers pen by throwing 68 pitches in relief last night. He pitched well, too, allowing one run and striking out seven. Still, he did have a 7.53 ERA through two starts and two relief appearances.

This just isn’t working. Rodriguez gave up homers to Blake Dunn, TJ Friedl, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jose Trevino before exiting. Those four homers equaled the number of missed swings he got in 76 pitches, and he’s now 0-2 with an 11.00 ERA. The Brewers will likely have Jose Quintana replace him in the rotation next weekend.
