Rodriguez threw just 100 pitches, gave up three walks and struck out four batters.
The left-hander limited the New York Mets to four hits. Lovullo was booed heavily when he came out of the dugout to remove Rodriguez.
The Diamondbacks went on to win, 5-1, and Rodriguez earned his fourth win of the season.
Rodriguez, who's in his third season in Arizona , has been strong for the Diamondbacks this year. Going into Sunday's game, the veteran was 3-0 with a 2.50 ERA.
