The Tigers took on the Mariners on a delightful, sunny Detroit afternoon to try to salvage the finale of a three-game set. They did not do so, and lost meekly to the Washingtonians 7-0, getting only four hits in the process. Let’s just say the Tigers looked as powerless as DTE has left much of the metropolitan Detroit area this week.
Eduardo Rodriguez, who’d been generally pretty solid since coming back from his absence, took the hill for the Tigers. Rodriguez was really hitting his stride in mid-May when he initially got injured, and after returning from his leave from the team, he turned in a pair of excellent starts against the Angels and Rangers.
