Signed as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2017, Rodriguez has already gone from mega-prospect to emerging superstar to a disappointment to today, where he is at best under-appreciated and maybe even underrated.

Josh Naylor and Julio Rodriguez homered and George Kirby pitched six quality innings as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Chicago White Sox 8-6 on Wednesday.

The Mainers left little doubt they were a better team, jumping out to an early six-run lead and holding on for an 8-6 victory Wednesday night at T-Mobile Park.
