DETROIT -- The Tigers opened Players' Weekend with new-look jerseys for the occasion against the White Sox, but a familiar fate for James Shields. Ronny "El Felino" Rodriguez hit his first Major League home run as part of a three-homer sixth inning off Shields as Detroit built a 5-0 lead.
Rodriguez, Mikie Mahtook and Nicholas Castellanos hit solo homers in a four-batter span, as Shields allowed three home runs in a contest at Comerica Park for the second straight season.
Castellanos led off the inning by turning on a 2-0 fastball from Shields and sending it deep to left.
