Eduardo Rodriguez roughed up by Red Sox as Tigers fall, 6-3

Boston — Things started going down a bad path for Eduardo Rodriguez with two outs in the second inning.

He walked Triston Casas, the lone lefty in the Boston lineup, on five pitches, then fell behind No. 8 hitter Connor Wong. He lined an RBI triple and the Red Sox kept hitting rockets.

Tigers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (57) holds up the ball as Justin Turner, right, runs the bases toward home after hitting a home run for the Red Sox in the third inning Sunday in Boston.

When the dust settled, Rodriguez’s first return to Fenway Park ended up being his worst start as a Tiger. He gave up six runs and 10 hits in five innings and the Red Sox coasted to a 6-3 win in the series finale.
