Tigers claw back from early deficit, tumble in extras to Angels

Special to The Detroit News

The Tigers' comeback bid against the Angels fell short in a 5-4 extra-inning loss that saw Detroit take its first lead of the game in the top of the 10th before losing it in the ensuing frame.

Eduardo Rodriguez (seven innings, five hits, three earned runs) recorded another rock-solid outing, recovering from some early mistakes to draw soft contact down the stretch and retire the final 11 batters he faced in his longest start of the season. Rodriguez’s command was as good as it’s been all season, issuing no walks for the first time since his night against the Dodgers on May 1.
