Rod told he won’t play field Friday in final Yankees game

He hit cleanup and drove in a run.

The return to form by Rodriguez and the addition of Pomeranz have given them just that.

“Kind of a amusing hit at the end”, he told reporters following the game. “We are still in the business of trying to win games”.

It was Rodriguez’s second start in almost three weeks.

“His IQ is off the charts, his baseball IQ is very high and he knows so much about the game”, catcher Brian McCann said. “To me, this is it”.

“He’s one of the smartest baseball players ever”, Hofman said. His batting average dropped to.199 for the season. New York, Eduardo Rodriguez has allowed eight earned runs in 38 1/3 innings, a 1.88 ERA. Two runs scored on the play, erasing a one-run deficit and putting the Yankees in front.

The RBI for Rodriguez came after the Red Sox intentionally walked Chase Headley with one out.

For Rodriguez, it marked one of his most dominant starts this season with his only run allowed on a solo homer in the third inning off the bat of Austin Romine.

“I think you’ll see Alex Rodriguez on the field for the Yankees, helping the organization win another championship through teaching and molding younger players”, Berkowitz said regarding his clients’ future plans.

Rain is in the NY forecast Friday night.

Fans have been asked to be in their seats by 6:50 p.m. and the start of the game has been pushed back to 7:35.

“He’s already got two off me”, Archer told MLB.com. That’s where my focus is.

“It’s unbelievable, bro. Every time I start getting hot, something happens”, Ramirez said after the game.

Alex Rodriguez drove in a run with a bases-loaded dribbler, capping a three-run rally in the eighth inning that lifted the New York Yankees over the Red Sox 4-2 on Thursday night and sent the booed designated hitter out of Boston with one last victory.

The announcement was kept secret until minutes before Rodriguez began his own press conference where he grew emotional and expressed appreciation for managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, who came up with the idea last week. “It was a fun request, and I don’t have any problem with Joe saying no on that. He’s probably saving me some embarrassment, so that’s not a bad thing”. No, not only do the Yankees owe Rodriguez nearly $30 million through the end of next season, but the plan is for him to join the team next spring as a special advisor to owner Hal Steinbrenner as well as serve as a guest instructor at spring training in Tampa. “Until we have that second opinion, we’re not going to release anything”, Girardi said. “And then I will try to accommodate that the best I can”. Chad Green is also lined up as a candidate to take Eovaldi’s spot. “It’s not ideal”, Girardi said. “But we’ve got to get through this little bit of a mess while our pitching is a mess”.

Dellin Betances struggled in the ninth, but got the save after Luis Cessa pitched two ideal innings. He said it was a good way to say farewell to Fenway Park, where in 1994 Rodriguez was a teenager with Seattle when he got an infield single at Fenway Park for his first major league hit.

Garza (4-4) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings.
