Live blog: K-Rod picks up Tigers in 7th

Top 7th: Tigers 6, Diamondbacks 6

Well, Brad Ausmus sent a gassed Chad Bell back out for the seventh inning. The reliever, who labored through the sixth but got a crucial double play to get out of the frame to help set up the Tigers comeback, gave up a leadoff double to David Peralta. Only then did Ausmus decide Bell was done for the night.

Enter the "mop-up" man himself: Francisco Rodriguez. Rodriguez backed up his fiery words today that he was not content with his current role, getting three outs in a high-leverage situation to get the Tigers out of the seventh inning still tied with the Diamondbacks.
