The Detroit Tigers were embarrassed in the first game of the series.
In the second game? Not at all.
The Tigers received a brilliant performance — seven scoreless innings — from left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez in his second start since the Aug. 1 trade deadline, leading to a 6-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday at Comerica Park.
The Tigers (50-63) supported Rodriguez, who has a 2.75 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 17 starts this season, by scoring three runs through the first four innings against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray.
