Live blog: K-Rod gets Angels 1-2-3 in 9th

Top 9th: Angels 5, Tigers 3

Much to the chagrin of Tigers fans, Francisco Rodriguez entered the game to start the ninth.

Danny Espinosa grounded out to first, Eric Young Jr. then grounded out to second and Shane Robinson flew out to right field.

Bottom 8th: Angels 5, Tigers 3

Keynan Middleton entered the game in relief for the Angels.

Alex Avila kicked things off with a single up the middle, beating the shift. Miguel Cabrera then drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch.

What looked to be a home run to right center by Victor Martinez died at the warning track for one out.
