Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez, one of the best prospects in baseball, turned in the best start of his big-league career in his second matchup with the Detroit Tigers.
This time, Rodriguez tossed five scoreless innings on two hits and one walk with nine strikeouts. The Tigers scored four runs in the sixth inning but lost, 6-4, in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader at Comerica Park.
"It's been a characteristic of our team," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "We'll keep playing. We're going to play the 27 outs, and these guys are credited with that.
