Detroit Tigers: Only Two Real Closing Candidates Other Than Francisco Rodriguez

Detroit Tigers fans haven’t exactly seen Francisco Rodriguez get off to the best start.

The closer turned in solid outing in the first game of the season against the White Sox.

He would also work around a hit to punch out two in an April 10 win over Boston.

However, despite five total saves, the results haven’t been pretty.

Rodriguez allowed three hits and a run against the Red Sox in his second outing of the season. He blew the save, but did earn the win.

Elsewhere, Rodriguez allowed runs in saves against Minnesota and Cleveland.
