Detroit Tigers Enter Clash with A's After Tough 1-0 Loss, Eduardo Rodriguez Ready to Return to Mound
The Detroit Tigers enter this series with the Oakland Athletics in third place in the AL Central Division, hoping to move closer to the .500 mark. Last Tuesday, the Tigers welcomed back lefty starter Tarik Skubal for the first time this season, and he pitched admirably going four innings with no hits and six strikeouts. He was followed by rookie Reese Olson with five innings of one-hit ball, however, the A's edged the Tigers 1-0 in the tenth inning with the Tigers leaving two runners on. On Wednesday, the Tigers welcome Ace Eduardo Rodriguez back to the mound, his first start since May 28th. Rodriguez, the Tigers' best pitcher of the first two months of the season, brings a 35-46 record, an ERA of 2.13, K/9 rate of 8.9, and an excellent WHIP of 0.98 into the game. At home, Rodriguez is 3-1 with a 9.6 K/9 rate and a 0.86 WHIP. However, the Tigers are down key players LF Akil Baddoo and CF Riley Greene, who are both out.
