Kansas City, Mo. — Eduardo Rodriguez was certainly the center of attention for trade deadline shoppers Wednesday.
And the Tigers’ lefty, expected to be coveted by pitching-lacking contenders, did not disappoint.
He had one minor hiccup in an otherwise dominant seven-inning performance, putting the Tigers in position to beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 at Kauffman Stadium.
In his third start back after missing more than a month with a finger injury, Rodriguez set down the first 13 hitters of the game before giving up a one-out single to Matt Duffy in the fifth.
