Rodriguez rejoined the Clippers this past week following his first-ever stint as a Major Leaguer with the Guardians. His hot-hitting sparked Columbus to its first series victory of the year, taking four of six on the road at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
For the week, Rodriguez hit .483 with four home runs, including his first ever-three homer game with a career-best 9 RBI in Thursday’s 23-5 drubbing of Indy. He led all of Minor League Baseball for the week with 14 hits, 8 extra-base hits, 16 RBI and 30 total bases.
Rodriguez is now among the top ten hitters in the International League on the year with a .308 batting average, to go along with 11 home runs and 44 RBI. He collected three hits and three RBI during the eight games he appeared in for Cleveland between May 21-June 1. Rodriguez is currently rated as the 16th best prospect in the Guardians organization by MLB.com.
Columbus heads home this week to face the Iowa Cubs, starting at 7:05pm on Tansky Tuesday Dime-A-Dog Night. Tickets to the entire series at Huntington Park are available at ClippersBaseball.com.
