Rodriguez looks to cap stellar rookie year strong
(MLB.com San Francisco Giants)

Dereck Rodriguez (6-4) will strive to punctuate his impressive rookie season with an exclamation point Saturday when he confronts the Dodgers in a 1:05 p.m. PT matchup at AT&T Park. The Giants are 9-9 overall when he starts, including 5-6 at home. They`ve also lost each of his last six starts and eight of his last 10. Rodriguez, whose 2.50 ERA makes him a legitimate Rookie of the Year candidate, will oppose Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (9-5).
