Rodriguez has new title, same approach

HOUSTON By simply stalling Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp from his frightening tear through the National League, Astros right-hander Wandy Rodriguez warranted any number of backslaps and handshakes. The seven shutout innings Rodriguez tossed on Sunday were gratuitous. Rodriguez insisted that nothing has changed beyond his assuming the title of staff ace. His simplified approach...
