He served as the <a href="/wiki/Closer_(baseball)" title="Closer (baseball)">closer</a> for both teams. Rodriguez then pitched for the Brewers until July 2013, mostly in a setup role, and for the Orioles for the rest of <a href="/wiki/2013_in_baseball" title="2013 in baseball">2013</a> before returning to the Brewers for <a href="/wiki/2014_in_baseball" title="2014 in baseball">2014</a> and <a href="/wiki/2015_in_baseball" title="2015 in baseball">2015</a>, this time as the team's closer.

Originally a <a href="/wiki/Starting_pitcher" title="Starting pitcher">starting pitcher</a>, Rodríguez moved to relief pitching in 2002 after elbow and shoulder injuries shortened his 2001 minor league season with the <a href="/wiki/Lake_Elsinore_Storm" title="Lake Elsinore Storm">Lake Elsinore Storm</a>. In 2002, he made his major league debut. At the time, he was the youngest pitcher in the American League.<sup id="cite_ref-baseball-reference1_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-baseball-reference1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Because of the multiple injuries to the Angels <a href="/wiki/Bullpen" title="Bullpen">bullpen</a>, the club brought him up during the middle of September. He emerged as a postseason relief hero, <a href="/wiki/Win_(baseball)" class="mw-redirect" title="Win (baseball)">winning</a> five postseason games despite never having won a Major League game before. Although he threw a lively fastball, his sharp-breaking <a href="/wiki/Curveball" title="Curveball">curveball</a> was his most effective pitch, made even better in 2002 by his late season emergence and hitters lack of experience seeing such a huge 12 to 6 late break from a pitch with fastball velocity. The pitch was almost unstoppable in the 2002 postseason. </p><p>Because Rodríguez had played very little in the major leagues, hitters in the postseason had very little idea what to expect from him, a situation that often favors the pitcher. The combination of high 90's fastball, the previously unseen high velocity late breaking curve, and the very occasional change up was too much.

At 20 years, 286 days old, he became the youngest pitcher ever to win a World Series game.
