The Tigers had a very comfortable matchup on Saturday night as Eduardo Rodriguez took on faded veteran Dallas Keuchel. It played out as planned, as the Tigers pounded the baseball all night while E-Rod put together a decent outing to even the series at a game apiece with a blowout 11-2 victory.
The Tigers haven’t done a lot of scoring early in games this season, but they got to Keuchel right out of the gate in this one. After Riley Greene flew out to start the game, Victor Reyes pulled a grounder down the line in left for a double and scored on a Javier Báez line drive single.
