 MIAMI (AP) - Ricardo Rodriguez pitched five effective innings in his season debut and Richard Hidalgo homered to help the Texas Rangers snap a season-high five-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory Sunday over the Florida Marlins.
Rodriguez (1-0), recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma before the game, allowed two runs and seven hits, walked one and struck out five.
John Wasdin, whose contract was purchased from Oklahoma earlier Sunday, pitched four perfect innings for his first save of the season. It was the fourth save of his career, and first since July 16, 2000, against Montreal while he with Boston.
