Wednesday’s series finale in Detroit was, at least at the start, all about Eduardo Rodriguez pitching against his old team. His old team didn’t hold back, springboarding off some bad defense to put up seven runs before Rodriguez was pulled in the middle of the fourth. Combined with a nice outing from Nathan Eovaldi, it looked like the Red Sox had an easy win to get back to .500. Well, they did get back to .500, but the bullpen made things far too interesting before the win was officially in the books.
