Grapefruit League: Detroit Tigers (12-12) vs. Toronto Blue Jays (13-11): 1:05 p.m.; Joker Marchant Stadium; Bally Sports Detroit; WXYT-AM (1270).
That blue and gold Venezuela baseball jersey, with all the colorful trim, looked awfully sharp on Eduardo Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a left-handed artist who pitches with power and with a certain elegance when all is right, was back with his regular employers Sunday, working 4.2 innings for the Tigers in what turned into a 2-1, walk-off victory for the Nationals at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. Rodriguez was quite good: four hits, two of which were ground balls over or off the third-base bag; one walk; five strikeouts. "Couldn't have asked for more,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said.
The Meadows brothers, Austin and Parker, are either back with the team (Austin) or moving closer (Parker) to the day they're in manager AJ Hinch's lineup. Cesar Hernandez is in the mix. The Tigers are handling this situation, shall we say, delicately.
