Rodriguez reached base just once, but he made the most of his eighth-inning single by stealing second and third base before coming around to score. The talented outfielder hadn't swiped a bag in any of his previous 18 contests, so his fantasy managers will likely hope that his pair of thefts kick off a stretch of more frequent running.
