The finale and rubber match of a three-game weekend series in Boston saw the Tigers drop a 6-3 decision, giving said series to the Sox.
Eduardo Rodriguez took the hill for the Tigers against his former squad. The Venezuelan lefty had a sensational start last time out against the Royals in Detroit, hurling seven shutout innings and only allowing a pair of hits. Since the trade-deadline-that-wasn’t he’s thrown 13 innings and given up a total of two hits. We could play the “should we or shouldn’t we trade X” game all day, but I like winning and Rodriguez helps the Tigers do just that.
