The Detroit Tigers didn’t quite get that sweep.
After they took games from the Houston Astros on Monday and Tuesday, the defending champions salvaged the series with an 8-2 victory over Detroit on Wednesday as the Tigers fall to 2-4 on the young season.
After a not good but not bad season premiere in Tampa Bay on March 30, Detroit left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez struggled to put his team in position to beat the Astros. He failed to get out of the fifth inning, allowing six hits and walking two batters for four earned runs.
