Both were integral to the success this year of an organization emerging from a grueling rebuild.Two stats in particular help explain the duo’s postseason divergence Sunday.For Rodriguez, it was the regression from the regular season. He surrendered more earned runs (five) in 1 2/3 innings than he had in any of his previous 13 starts since being recalled...
