Today’s box score is here.
Erik Bedard allowed one run in six innings at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga today.
Before the game, I asked Paco Rodriguez about his steadily decreasing velocity. His explanation was interesting. Check out this Google spreadsheet (all credit to Jeff Zimmerman), which shows Rodriguez among the MLB leaders in decreased velocity compared to 2014.
