It happened subtly in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Minnesota Twins.
Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who has a 2.75 ERA in 17 starts this season, finished the seventh inning by striking out Michael A. Taylor to conclude a six-pitch battle and a 102-pitch performance, and upon his return to the dugout, he smiled and embraced manager A.J. Hinch.
Both Rodriguez and Hinch started laughing.
"We do need to note he went over 100 pitches," Hinch said after Tuesday's shutout, started by Rodriguez and finished by right-handed relievers Jason Foley and José Cisnero.
