MLB

Rodriguez struggled through four innings, allowing five runs on six hits. Oakland added seven more runs off relievers Mason Englert and Zach Logue. Detroit collected just four hits, including RBI doubles by Miguel Cabrera and Jonathan Schoop.

To make room for Rodriguez on the roster, the Tigers sent pitcher Garrett Hill down to Toledo.
