Francisco Rodriguez, recently publicizing displeasure with his perceived lack of use in high-leverage situations, took the mound in the top of the eighth inning for the Tigers, with a 3-2 lead.
The veteran right-hander promptly gave up a long home run to Steven Souza Jr. to tie the game.
Rodriguez escaped the inning with just the one run allowed, but the damage -- for now -- is done.
Going to the bottom of the eighth, it's 3-3.
