Not at all.<br>The Tigers received a brilliant performance — seven scoreless innings on 102 pitches — from left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez in his second start since the Aug. 1 trade deadline, leading to a 6-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday at Comerica Park.<br>"I felt really good," Rodriguez said. "I feel like that was one of my best games that I've thrown this year. I didn't have my third pitch working, but I used my other ones and was able to go seven innings. The (three) walks don't matter. I went seven innings, and we won the game. That's all I really want."<br><br><a href="https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2023/08/08/detroit-tigers-game-recap-minnesota-twins-eduardo-rodriguez/70555584007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2023/08/08/detroit-tigers-game-recap-minnesota-twins-eduardo-rodriguez/70555584007/</a> <br>The Tigers (50-63) supported Rodriguez, who has a 2.75 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 17 starts this season, by scoring three runs through the first four innings against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray.Detroit became the 24th MLB team to reach 50 wins in 2023."The best part of Eduardo today was anchoring his staff when he saw us get beat up a little bit yesterday," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "We went through a lot of bullpen arms. Guys are hanging a little bit. It's August. He stepped up and delivered a gem. That part of it is the top-of-the-rotation guy that we like. That's why we love when he's out there."<br></b>
