Minneapolis — Tigers bench coach Steve Liddle was a bit surprised to see Ronny Rodriguez wear his gray spikes before the game.
"I asked him where his orange shoes were," Liddle said. "He said, 'Oh Papi, the grey ones are hot.' And he wasn't lying. I think everybody is going to be wearing gray shoes for the night game."
Ronny Rodriguez, the Tigers surprise home run leader, blasted a pair of second-deck shots Saturday that helped setup the 5-3 win over the Twins in the opener of this make-up doubleheader.
