DETROIT (AP) — Eduardo Rodriguez pitched seven solid innings, and the Detroit Tigers stopped Minnesota’s five-game winning streak with a 6-0 victory over the Twins on Tuesday night.Rodriguez (8-5) allowed four hits — all singles — struck out five and walked three. “The impressive thing is that he did all of that without his best pitch,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “He couldn’t find his cutter, so it was fastball and changeup.”The veteran left-hander, who was nearly traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the deadline, improved to 4-1 with a 3.63 ERA in his last seven starts.“He’s a very high-quality pitcher — it isn’t an accident how often he goes deep into games,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “There aren’t a lot of pitchers who can just go up there and fire fastballs and gets swings that aren’t on the ball. That’s what he does.”Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera went 2 for 4 and scored a run. He has 3,142 hits, passing Tony Gwynn and moving into a ti...

There was a happy homecoming for a dog that was once thought to have been abandoned at a South Florida park. A good Samaritan spotted the animal near a busy street and dropped her off at a spot she thought was somewhat safer.The dog’s owner reacted to having his precious pet back.The heartwarming reunion came after several days of searching for the abandoned dog.The American bulldog, named Solee, had gone missing from her home over a week ago and was found by the good Samaritan.A surveillance camera caught that interaction, which a rescue group originally thought was a case of animal abandonment. “It’s disheartening to see someone do that to an animal,” Jennifer Diliz said. “It’s really sad because this dog didn’t know what was going on, she almost didn’t want to get out of the car, and you know shes seen running after the car because shes kind of like, ‘Where are my humans? They just dumped me here they just left me.'”But...

For the fourth time this season, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde didn’t make it to the end of a game.Hyde was ejected in the sixth inning Tuesday night against the Houston Astros at Camden Yards. The fifth-year manager was tossed by first base umpire Edwin Moscoso for arguing after a play at first base.After the ejection, Hyde extended the argument — throwing his cap to the ground and gesticulating while screaming at the umpires. The crowd at Camden Yards — with an announced attendance of 24,761 — gave Hyde a standing ovation as he walked off the field.It’s unclear what Hyde took issue with, but it was perhaps that Moscoso failed to signal a safe or out call on the plate at first. With two outs in the inning with the Orioles up 6-2, rookie pitcher Grayson Rodriguez got Jeremy Peña to hit a soft ground ball to shortstop. Gunnar Henderson’s throw pulled Ryan Mountcastle away from first, and Peña was safe at first. Mountcastle started running ...
