Wilfredo José Rodríguez (born March 20, 1979 in Bolívar State, Venezuela) is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher. He appeared in two games for the Houston Astros in the 2001 season. He bats and throws left-handed.
With Houston, Rodríguez posted a 0–0 record with three strikeouts and a 15.00 ERA in three innings. He is most widely known for yielding Barry Bonds' record-tying 70th home run on October 4, 2001.[1] That game was his last appearance in the majors.
