Well, through the first three innings, it’s been a fun opener for the Detroit Tigers. Eduardo Rodriguez looked in good command and threw three strong innings. Willi Castro made an error. Things were going as expected. More importantly, a team that lacked for home run power in 2021 gave us a little taste of the future.
In the bottom of the third inning, Akil Baddoo and Riley Greene took on Philadelphia Phillies reliever Cam Bedrosian. It did not go well for Bedrosian.
Baddoo got a hanging changeup 0-1 and lifted it high and deep to right field.
