 Ivan Rodriguez and the Detroit Tigers roared back from two big deficits to avoid another loss. The Boston Red Sox also rallied, same as last October.
The struggling Tigers twice trailed by five runs Monday night, but Rodriguez tied it with a two-run triple during a huge eighth inning and scored the go-ahead run on Jacque Jones' sacrifice fly in an 11-9 victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins.
One night after manager Jim Leyland lashed into his team following an 11-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox, Detroit responded. The big bats finally broke loose and the Tigers scored six times in the eighth, improving to 1-6 at home this season and 3-10 overall — still the worst record in baseball.
