Detroit — It just doesn’t stop for the Tigers.
Even on a day when they won a series against division rival Cleveland, beating the Guardians 2-1 in the finale on the strength of two solo home runs, there were issues. Health issues.
Rookie Elvin Rodriguez had cruised through four innings Sunday in his second big-league start and had a 1-0 lead when he went back out for the fifth.
A few minutes later, head athletic trainer Doug Teter was on the mound, Rodriguez was trying to stretch out some tightness in his leg and then limped off the field.
