Bashing Blue Jays put a 10-1 hurt on Tigers in opener

Detroit — No need for a video dissection from Jomboy Media on this one.

Whether Tigers rookie Elvin Rodriguez was tipping his pitches, as Jomboy picked up on in New York last Friday, is immaterial. Major League hitters will generally have success against pitches over the heart of the plate, whether they know what’s coming or not.

The Toronto Blue Jays hit three home runs off Rodriguez in the second inning and cruised to a 10-1 romp over the Tigers on a damp, rainy Friday night at Comerica Park.

Already up 2-0, Lourdes Gurriel, Jr.
